Bachelor of Applied Social Science [Batchelor]

This specialised course explores the connection between Indigenous knowledge systems and the western culture.

You focus on the theoretical concepts and practices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander traditional owners promoting responsible leadership, advocacy and empowerment for people and communities to help them reach their goals for active participation in modern Australian social, cultural and economic life. Key areas you focus on include: Indigenous social policy, Indigenous resource management and Indigenous community action.

You will demonstrate an ability to work within broader society as active and culturally capable agents of change and apply what you learn in a culturally informed and respectful manner.
