Classes are given by visiting Koorie and non-Koorie lecturers. Courses in Australian studies, anthropology, geography, history, politics, linguistics, environmental science and sociology complement the courses available in the Koorie Research Centre.
First-year, major and minor sequences
A major sequence in Koorie studies is now available to BA students, and those wishing to complete this major should undertake a first-year sequence in history (with an Australian focus), linguistics, Aboriginal studies, sociology, geography, anthropology or politics as the first part of the major sequence. In order to complete this major, students would need to gain a further forty points in Koorie studies subjects, either twenty-four at second-year level plus sixteen at third, or alternatively, sixteen at second-year level and a further twenty-four at third year. A minor sequence in Koorie studies can be completed in one of two ways. Students may take either a first-year sequence in history (with an Australian focus), linguistics, Aboriginal studies, geography, anthropology or politics, followed by sixteen points of Koorie studies subjects at the second-year level, or they can complete sixteen points of Koorie studies subjects at the second-year level followed by at least twelve points of Koorie studies subjects at the third-year level. Students should note that it is possible to undertake second-year level studies in Koorie studies without having completed one of the specified first-year level sequences. However, such students would not be able to complete a major sequence in Koorie studies.
