Indigenous Studies - master

Why do Indigenous peoples share historical and contemporary experiences across the globe, despite their diversity? How does colonisation and decolonisation illuminate both particularities and commonalities of Indigenous peoples’ relations to states and majority societies?

Our master’s programme in Indigenous Studies provides a multidisciplinary approach to understanding Indigenous issues. Designed to develop academic and practical skills, enhance critical thinking, and build knowledge, this program prepares students to fill an important role in an increasingly globalised world. We welcome students from both Indigenous and non-Indigenous backgrounds, creating an exciting cross-cultural teaching and learning environment.
