Indigenisation of the Curriculum
Our team are dedicated to creating a culturally safe curriculum within the School of Biomedical Science and Pharmacy. We strive to ensure that First Nations students feel welcomed and supported throughout their studies as they prepare for their future careers. Additionally, we aim to educate non-Indigenous students to understand and respect First Nations people and their ways of knowing, being, and doing.
Ultimately, our goal is to nurture culturally competent and sensitive graduates who can serve effectively in the health and research sectors.
To make sure we do this right, the team are in the process of consulting with past, current and future First Nations students and graduates, if you are interested in participating in the consultation process please contact us at sbsp-isec@newcastle.edu.au
The University of Newcastle acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands within our footprint areas: Awabakal, Darkinjung, Biripai, Worimi, Wonnarua, and Eora Nations. We also pay respect to the wisdom of our Elders past and present.
