About Batchelor Institute of Indigenous Tertiary Education
From beginnings in the 1960s as an Education Department annexe providing short training programs for Aboriginal teacher aides, Batchelor Institute of Indigenous Tertiary Education has become a national leader in tertiary studies for Indigenous Australians.
Established on 1 July 1999 by the Batchelor Institute of Indigenous Tertiary Education Act 1999, the Institute—formerly Batchelor College—is controlled and run by Indigenous Australians and specialises in working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students from across Australia, and especially remote communities, to develop an Indigenous approach to mainstream disciplines and careers.
The Institute offers Higher Education and Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses, ranging from apprenticeships and certificates to doctorates, and providing pathways in a number of fields critical for Indigenous Australians. There are over 3 000 enrolled students from all parts of Australia.
Batchelor Institute’s teaching and research activities affirm Indigenous Australians’ aspirations for self-determination and employment; and are underpinned by a ‘both ways’ philosophy which enables exploration of Indigenous traditions of knowledge and Western academic disciplinary positions in cross-cultural contexts.
Close links between the Institute and Indigenous communities have led to the development of ‘mixed mode’ delivery for most courses. This combines community-based study and research, field study and supervised work experience with short, intensive residential workshops at a number of sites.
The Institute’s emphasis on research activities has increased as part of its overall academic development, with work to facilitate staff and student opportunities for research opportunities. An essential element is that all research associated with the Institute incorporates Indigenous research principles and protocols.
