Colleges and Universities Offering Graduate Certificate in Aboriginal Studies in Australia

Institutions Offering Graduate Certificate in Aboriginal Studies

•  University of Notre Dame Australia, Sydney  
  Program summary:
  The Graduate Certificate in Aboriginal Studies requires the completion of four courses which can be studied in one year, or up to a maximum five years. Students are required to undertake one compulsory core Aboriginal Studies course, ABOR5000 The Silent History, and three additional elective courses.
  ABOR5000 The Silent History is delivered as a face-toface intensive session over 8 days at the Broome Campus. This course is not offered online due to the valuable learning and understanding that students gain from the on-Country experience which cannot be replicated in an online environment. It includes an overnight camping trip with Karajarri Rangers and Traditional Owners.
  Most students who come to Broome in June for ABOR5000 also stay on to complete the elective course ABOR5010 The Cultural and Spiritual Life of Aboriginal People over a further 5 days. This course is also not offered online.
  Students doing both ABOR5000 and ABOR5010 in the 2 week Broome intensive program need to study a further two electives to complete the program. The two electives can be chosen from the following online courses, via weekly webinar lectures and group discussions:
  • ABOR5030 Aboriginal People in Contemporary Australian Society
  • ABOR5040 Aboriginal People and the Media
  • ABOR5310 Aboriginal People and the Legal System
  A further self-directed, literature-based research project is also available to those who have completed at least two other courses and who have a particular area of research that interests them. This course, ABOR5250 Special Projects, is completed independently, with regular supervisor meetings across semester 1 or 2.
  
  Course Duration: 0.5 year full-time or part-time equivalent
