Handbook

The Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Australian Indigenous Studies is a 48 UOC (one year equivalent) advanced undergraduate degree for high achieving students which may be taken upon completion of an undergraduate pass degree in Arts, International Studies or Social Research and Policy. The key aim of the Australian Indigenous Studies Honours program is to produce graduates who are well equipped to deal with Indigenous people's concerns and issues in their future research work. The program may be a pathway into a graduate research degree (MA Research or PhD).

The aims of the Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Australian Indigenous Studies are:

1. To develop students’ disciplinary skills in Indigenous Studies, including higher-order research skills in critical thinking, reflection, and analysis.
2. To enable students to engage and work critically with a range of research methods and approaches in Indigenous Studies and other disciplines.
3. To ensure students are rigorous in their research and analysis in Indigenous and multi-disciplinary intersections.
4. To foster students’ understandings of how to work in ethically and socially just ways, respecting Indigenous diversity in local, national, and international contexts.
