About this program
Adelaide University's Graduate Diploma in Aboriginal Studies is the mid-point exit award within the Master of Aboriginal Studies, and covers the same core content over a shorter timeframe for students who exit early or want a standalone credential. Our Master of Aboriginal Studies privileges First Nations knowledges, pedagogies and voices. It is designed for postgraduate students of any discipline with an interest in Aboriginal history, cultures, politics and education. Explore Aboriginal cultures, society and history – from law, health and education to Aboriginal Nation building and governance. Learn from respected Aboriginal researchers and lecturers. Undertake a major research project or minor thesis in an area of passion. Study Aboriginal research methodologies and languages.
