Course overview

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples have inhabited the Australian continent for over 60,000 years. With many cultures, languages, connections to lands and waters and a complex recent history, there is always more to learn and understand. 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.
