Course structure

Overview

The Graduate Certificate in Indigenous Research (GC-IRL) is a 50-point award:

Advanced Standing

Advanced standing may be obtained either through MULT90022 Indigenous Research (a 25-point compulsory subject) which students complete in the Professional Certificate in Indigenous Research (GC-IRPRO); or through a doctoral degree plus evidence of engagement with Indigenous research.

Applicants who wish to apply for advanced standing must first discuss their intent with the Course Coordinator prior to submitting their application. If successful, the advanced standing will be equivalent to 25 credit points (in lieu of the MULT90022 Indigenous Research subject/Professional Certificate in Indigenous Research).

Indigenous Research and Leadership (MULT90024)

This subject builds on participants' prior experience and expertise in Indigenous research and/or what they have learned in the Indigenous Research (MULT90022) subject. It aims to develop further leadership skills relevant to academic contexts such as:

  • Research supervision
  • Research grants and project management
  • Mentoring of junior researchers, especially those from an Indigenous background
  • Applying research findings and/or an evidence base to issues arising in professional, community and industry contexts.
