Doctor of Indigenous Philosophies

Southern Cross University is widely acknowledged for its commitment to Indigenous culture, education, participation, respect and reconciliation.
 

The Doctor of Indigenous Philosophies is a program of study by coursework and research that comprises 24 units which include a research thesis. The course is designed to provide high-level research skills for Indigenous people and for those interested in careers in the Indigenous sector.
 

The qualification is aimed at providing important and specific opportunities at both national and international levels for Indigenous peoples, those working within Indigenous communities, the private and public sector, for the progression of in-depth studies on issues relevant to Indigenous communal futures.
 

In leading your own research project – with support and guidance from our experts – you'll work towards providing tangible benefits to Indigenous peoples.
 

In the process, you'll gather relevant, resonant skills that contribute to Indigenous Knowledges and may lead you into working with, and for, Indigenous communities.
