Why learn with us?

The Bachelor of Aboriginal Studies program was developed in response to the particular needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, but it may be undertaken by anyone. The program will give you a balanced knowledge and understanding of Aboriginal culture, history and society, together with enhanced and highly developed skills in oral, written and interpersonal communication. It is specifically Aboriginal in orientation and is designed to prepare you for roles in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations and the public and private sectors, as well as laying the groundwork for further studies in Aboriginal postgraduate research.

Professional development

As a graduate you may find employment in Aboriginal organisations such as land councils, medical services, legal services, co-operatives and housing companies. Employment may also be found in government organisations and in all areas of the private sector where roles for Aboriginal people with a broad range of skills and knowledge are emerging.

You may also chose to enrol in further studies as an Honours, Postgraduate coursework, or Research Higher Degree student. Please see our website for further information.
