Bachelor of Arts in Indigenous Knowledge, History and Heritage / Master of Teaching (Secondary)

Program Overview

Combine your passion for the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences with the teaching profession and qualify as a secondary school teacher in just four years.

This combined bachelor’s and master’s degree, the only one of its kind in WA, provides you with in-depth knowledge of the theory and practical skills required for secondary teaching.

Major: Indigenous Knowledge, History and Heritage

The Indigenous Knowledge, History and Heritage major comprises a multidisciplinary program that provides you with an opportunity to learn about the history, culture and philosophy of Indigenous peoples in Australia. You'll explore the philosophical underpinnings of an Indigenous worldview.

The units offered enable you to critically engage with the issues covered, across a number of disciplines, and connect to contemporary Australian social issues. Studying the major gives you a strong grounding in Aboriginal knowledge systems as well as Western disciplinary constructs around Indigenous knowledges and peoples.

The central principle is to provide a space for students to critically engage and interact with Aboriginal voices. The major will be taught in an interactive manner; students will engage with Indigenous people, Elders in the community and guest speakers.

The course includes a range of experiential activities, intensive sessions and field work. You'll also have the opportunity to engage with a range of source material including community and family histories, art, poetry and film. Indigenous knowledge is applicable to all fields and disciplines because it allows you to engage with a different way of knowing and understanding the world.
