What is the difference between
applying and enrolling?
Applying is the first step you need to take to gain a place
in a Higher Education course. Once you have received
an offer for admission into a course, you will receive
information on enrolling in your course and units.
When do I need to apply?
The application closing dates change from year to year,
depending on the start date of each semester. Generally
you can apply right up to the week before classes start,
but don’t leave it to the last minute! You should apply at
least by the SATAC or UAC cut-off dates to give yourself
the best chance and to allow time for your application to
be processed and for you to enrol in your classes.
Do I have to pay an application fee
when I apply for a course?
If you are applying to study with CDU through SATAC or
UAC you will be required to pay an application fee.
Who can apply for a scholarship?
Scholarships are not only for high achievers. Anyone who
is studying at CDU can apply for a scholarship as long as
you meet the scholarship’s eligibility criteria.
How do I apply for credit transfer?
Applying for credit towards a CDU course can only
be requested once you have applied for a course and
accepted an offer to study with us. Once you accept an
offer, complete the application for Credit Transfer and
supply the required documentation.

DURATION – 1 year full-time, 2 years part-time
DOMESTIC INTAKE – Semester 1, Semester 2
ABOUT THE COURSE
Want to base your research on Australian Indigenous knowledge?
Ready to make a positive change for both Indigenous and non-
Indigenous Australians through collaborative research?
The Diploma of Indigenous Research is an opportunity for you to
build on the profound depth of research knowledge that already
exists with the traditions of Indigenous people within Australia.
Indigenous people have extensive experience in research, both
as participants and leaders of research initiated within and by
universities and other agencies, but also as leaders of research
work based within the knowledge foundations of their own
cultural and philosophical traditions.
This course focuses on promoting knowledge and cultural
tradition research in Indigenous groups and its positive
contributions to both Indigenous and non-Indigenous society.
It also aims to open the knowledge-making spaces between
the western academy and Indigenous knowledge academies to
explore new and generative research methodologies that can
emerge from genuine and equal collaboration.
This course targets Indigenous students, however, non-Indigenous
students with suitable experience may apply.
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
You will graduate with the knowledge and skills that are useful
for research within Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander contexts,
organisations and communities, government departments and
agencies or private agencies and organisations that are involved in
Indigenous research.
