The Graduate Diploma of Indigenous Knowledge develops greater understanding of Indigenous knowledge and societies through learning on-Country, in a culturally diverse and supportive environment. This postgraduate course offers a range of theoretical approaches that capitalise on the real application of skills and concepts in situ, facilitated primarily by Indigenous academics, rangers, scientists and land owners. Learning experiences link to local community aspirations and values, introduce Indigenous ontologies, respect Indigenous languages and perspectives, and involve local people. Fieldwork engages students with learning processes that bridge Indigenous and Western knowledge systems. Please note: students with substantial industry experience, international or domestic students with relevant qualifications or Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students may be eligible for advanced standing in this course. Major areas of study A major aspect of this program is developing an understanding of being and acting in the world from an Indigenous Knowledge framework through learning on-Country. Students study six core units that include: Connecting with Country, Knowing with Community, Cultures of Repair: People and Environment, The Indigenous Estate and Social Enterprise, Indigenous Research in Context, and Living Knowledge. Career opportunities Graduates of this award will have skills appropriate for a range of careers in all levels of government and non-government organisations and in the private sectors in areas such as tourism, education, health, and the environment. There are growing opportunities in areas of community legal and native title legal practice, as well as in areas of Indigenous social enterprise.
