Overview

Framed by the Catholic intellectual tradition, this course introduces students to the richness and breadth of theological scholarship. Students can pursue an in-depth program of study in biblical studies, systematic theology, ministry, liturgy, ancient languages, and philosophy, as well as units in other disciplines, such as arts and social sciences. Through the community engagement component of this degree, students are offered the opportunity to explore Christian theology in a range of contemporary settings. Global experience is encouraged as part of student’s learning with a number of international study tours available. Students develop a wide range of adaptable skills, including the capacity to analyse, critically reflect, evaluate, and to bring ethical perspectives to life and work. Students develop communication skills; the capacity to evaluate and discriminate between multiple viewpoints, and the ability to develop and articulate compelling arguments.
