Indigenous Studies
Indigenous Studies is an interdisciplinary major which links together INDS subjects and a number of subjects offered by the Faculties of Arts, Creative Arts, Education, Health and Behavioural Sciences, Law and Science, to provide Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal students with a coherent program in the study of Aboriginal Australia.
Major Study
The major consists of three core subjects offered by the Woolyungah Indigenous Centre together with a choice of subjects offered by participating Faculties. Students are advised to consult with the Woolyungah Indigenous Centre about available subjects prior to enrolment.
A major in Indigenous Studies requires the completion of a minimum of 52 credit points, consisting of at least 12 credit points at 100-level, 16 credit points at 200-level and 24 credit points at 300-level. The major must include INDS150, INDS200 and INDS300.
Double Major
A majority of the Indigenous Studies subjects are drawn from the offerings of a number of faculties and it is possible for students to complete a second major. Students are encouraged to look closely at this option, particularly if they are contemplating postgraduate study.
Minor Study
A minor in Indigenous Studies will consist of the three core subjects (INDS150, INDS200 and INDS300) and one other subject from the subjects prescribed for the major (see Study Program below). Students may not cross-count any subjects from the minor in any other minor or major study.
