Masters, Diplomas and Graduate Certificates by coursework
At the Northern Institute, our researchers develop coursework to support capacity building in their research areas and train the next generation of researchers and practitioners.
Indigenous Research
Are you an Indigenous researcher interested in developing and recognising important skills and practices in your workplace or community? Draw on your knowledge and culture to conduct on-ground research and learn how research may positively contribute to Indigenous people, places and futures.
Indigenous Policy Development
Examine key issues of Indigenous policy development and implementation, economic development and participation, traditional and modern governance structures, and intellectual and cultural property rights in current social and political contexts. This unique course is an essential foundation for respectful and accountable engagement with Indigenous people and the current social and political issues they face in Australia and internationally.
Public Policy
Gain in-depth knowledge of policy practice and theory and a solid understanding of evidence-based policy development and evaluation. Explore policy issues in regional and remote contexts across Northern Australia and Southeast Asia, while engaging with First Nations perspectives on program and policy development.
Emergency and Disaster Management
Gain the skills and knowledge to work as an emergency and disaster management professional and manage all phases of the disaster management cycle. Develop an informed practice to critically examine issues and explore how different professional and cultural perspectives may shape emergency and disaster management work. Draw upon the expertise and practical experience of researchers and practitioners working close to Indonesia and Southeast Asia.
