The Bachelor of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Advocacy degree provides an opportunity for students to engage intellectually and in hands-on ways with concepts and practices based on Indigenous knowledge systems. The core units and the course specialisations are designed to privilege and advance the exploration and practical application of knowledges from the rich cultural traditions and contemporary social experiences of Indigenous peoples. The course of study promotes the capacity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and those who work with them, to provide accountable leadership, advocate for and empower people and communities in their aspirations for cultural maintenance and reclamation, and for effective participation in contemporary Australian social, cultural and economic life.

With a focus upon ensuring graduates demonstrate an ability to apply what they learn in a culturally informed and respectful manner, students have the opportunity to acquire and apply knowledge and skills in three core areas of significant importance for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians: social policy, land and sea management and/or community advocacy. These specialised fields of study are tailored to prepare students for professional work and/or further study or research that can contribute to, and further develop, effective and equitable engagement between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and the broader Australian community.

The course has a range of flexible, multi-modal delivery options that include workshops, Learnline, face-to-face and external.

This course aims to develop an understanding of and respect for Indigenous knowledges and an engagement of Indigenous people in the culture of academic research. Students enrolled in this course are familiarised with and develop an understanding of key issues surrounding and protocols related to research by and with Indigenous people. Research projects are drawn from both the requests of Indigenous community leaders, the involvement of academics in current research projects and community-led project and their subsequent related and independent interests. Special focus is placed on Indigenous people's engagement in the economic use and management of land and water resources, exploration of the policy environment within which Indigenous people operate, issues of language and culture maintenance and development.

Students are encouraged to be self-reflective and interrogate their own attitudes and practices in the light of the social and cultural diversity of the contexts of their research. This Honours course prepares graduates from any relevant degree program to engage in research activities in a wide range of disciplines that occur within the Australian cultural, historical, environmental and social contexts, with a particular focus upon Indigenous issues.
