The Graduate Certificate was designed by Indigenous Language specialists exclusively for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to come together and learn the skills to revitalise and advocate for strong Language Communities.
You'll develop the knowledge and hands-on skills necessary to analyse, research, teach and learn your Language, while building a critical awareness of the social, cultural and political issues important to Languages, Language advocates and Language professionals. You’ll strengthen your project design and management skills by creating community-focused Language research and resources for use in your own Language context.
Check your eligibility below. The Enrolment Guide gives you important steps and dates, including your application to Abstudy to access the Away from Base fund to support travel, accommodation and meals during the 1- week intensives.
Students enrolled in the Graduate Certificate will be invited to apply for a fee-free bursary.
