Selected major: Indigenous Studies

Indigenous ways of being and doing are being increasingly understood for not just their historical value, but for their place in contemporary society. This major provides a number of opportunities to learn such concepts and how to utilise them in future careers including the role of Indigenous Knowledges in a range of contemporary fields, and concepts of Indigenous entrepreneurship in today's world.

You’ll experience contemporary community organisations and the issues they face in the capstone unit to learn and adopt culturally safe practices which can be applied to your professional career.  

Why be on the outside looking in when you can be part of the vital conversation that shapes society and the world we live in? Explore the possibilities with Swinburne’s unique Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Applied Innovation double degree.

Our extensive arts offering provides plenty of scope to immerse yourself in the subjects that matter to you most. Learn how to gather, synthesise and assess information, conceptualise issues and express yourself effectively, both orally and in writing. Take on the future and offer solutions to the world’s most pressing problems with a transferable skill set of analytical thinking, cultural competency and digital literacy.

With your Bachelor of Applied Innovation, learn how to make decisions of impact, based on analytical and strategic thinking, human understanding and respect for future generations – with supporting technological know-how. Immersed in an interdisciplinary environment overseen by specialist academic teams who encourage a collaborative and entrepreneurial spirit, you’ll be challenged and inspired to develop transformative solutions to the complex challenges of today and the emerging opportunities of the future.

Both qualifications promise experiential learning through real-world placements, internships or industry-related project work.

Career pathways as an arts graduate are plentiful, from policy development to public relations, journalism to sociology, writing to community development. Your newly acquired innovation skillset raises you to a whole new level of employability, in your chosen field or beyond, in roles such as innovation consultant, strategic designer, start-up founder, human-centred researcher and transformation lead.
