Our Master of Aboriginal Studies privileges First Nations knowledges, pedagogies and voices. It is designed for postgraduate students of any discipline with an interest in Aboriginal history, cultures, politics and education. Through a mix of theoretical and practical learning, you'll explore Aboriginal issues and worldviews in relation to health, law, history, education, the environment, policy and research. Learn from highly respected Aboriginal professionals, including academics and lecturers who offer a wealth of valuable insight and experience. You'll undertake a significant research project in an area of interest -from Indigenous agricultural practices to First Nations poetry - exploring relevant global, cultural, social and political themes. You'll gain a deep appreciation of Aboriginal languages, research and knowledges - and how they can drive local solutions and global impact. You'll graduate with advanced research and project management skills, equipped to meaningfully collaborate with Aboriginal communities in Australia - and champion positive change.
