While the Graduate Certificate in Aboriginal Studies will be of particular value to those already working with Indigenous communities, this degree also provides a useful background for anyone whose career in health promotion, medicine, justice, education or social work brings them into contact with Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people.
