Programs and courses

The Centre for Australian Indigenous Knowledges delivers a number of Indigenous courses and programs. These courses and programs focus on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and have been designed by Indigenous staff, in consultation with the Indigenous community. The Centre's academic staff teach these programs to both Indigenous and non-Indigenous students.

The programs and courses currently offered by the Centre are:
