The course requires the completion of 160 credit points of study drawn from units offered in the Bachelor of Indigenous Languages and Linguistics. Seventy (70) credit points of Common and Core units provide an orientation and a linguistic foundation to allow students to develop specialised knowledge across key areas of study in language documentation and maintenance. Sixty (60) credit points of Specialist Electives allow the student to focus on studies related to Language documentation and maintenance. Students supplement their study with another thirty (30) credit points of study that allows for a second specialisation in language policy or introductory research practices.

All study of language and culture is firmly embedded in pedagogical practice that is culturally based, informed by history and underpinned by accountable and respectful application of linguistic theory and methods in urban and remote community language maintenance and revitalisation.
