The course places students in "internships" with native title representative bodies and other organisations which deal with native title in Australia for a period of six weeks. The internships enable students to build on their understanding of the theory of native title law by gaining an appreciation of its practical operation. The course aims to give depth and context to students existing knowledge of native title law. Associated with the internship students will be asked to complete an agreed research task under the supervision of the course coordinator. The research task might involve research into a specific aspect of native title law or procedure. The research task will be negotiated with the student and the course coordinator, and will build on the work the student completes within the host organisation. It is expected that students will also be involved in day-to-day activities of their host organisation and gain a broad understanding of how such organisations operate and of the operation of native title law generally.
