Aboriginal Studies

Major Study

The Aboriginal Studies is an interdisciplinary major which links together a number of ABST subjects as well as subjects offered by the Faculties of Arts, Creative Arts, Education, Law, Science and Health and Behavioural Sciences, 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 the participating Faculties. Students are advised to consult with the Woolyungah Indigenous Centre about available subjects prior to enrolment.

A major in Aboriginal 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 ABST150, ABST200 and ABST300.
Note: In planning the major, students should be aware that they may need to satisfy prerequisites of upper-level subjects.
