Are you looking for a qualification in an Australian Indigenous language? The Bachelor of Indigenous Languages and Linguistics is what you are looking for.
This unique course informs and engages Indigenous and non-Indigenous people in language and culture and builds your theoretical and practical knowledge and skills so you can engage in culturally informed and accountable ways of Indigenous language work.
Your studies focus on the linguistic skills and knowledge needed for appropriate and culturally sensitive language documentation, maintenance and language recovery and revitalisation.
You will develop basic language skills in an Indigenous language (Yolngu or Arrernte), and learn how language (and language learning) exists within cultural and social understandings and practices.
This course prepares you for professional practice and further study and research in the fields of language and linguistics, and in Indigenous language planning and policy at local and national levels, enabling effective participation in and equitable engagement between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander language cultures and the broader Australian community.
