The aim of this course is to equip graduates with theoretical, analytical and practical skills required for practice in the fields of applied native title and cultural heritage anthropology.

The graduate certificate is intended for people who already hold a degree but who wish to undertake further study, or to obtain advanced qualifications in a specific area of expertise.

Graduates may be able to apply credit from this course towards further study at graduate diploma or master's level.

Course outline

The graduate certificate consists of the units:

• ANTH8416 Cultural Heritage Anthropology (semester 1)
• ANTH8417 Legal Issues in Native Title and Heritage (semester 1)
• ANTH8418 Native Title Anthropology (semester 2)
