About the course

Engage critically with the Catholic intellectual tradition, understand the complex realities of religion across history, and gain insight into contemporary challenges.

　　This three-year program offers an introduction to the breadth of contemporary theological study, providing you with the opportunity to explore study areas like biblical studies, systematic theology, ministry, liturgy, world religions, ancient languages, moral theology, and philosophy. The Bachelor of Theology also gives you the flexibility to select units from other disciplines, such as arts and social sciences, including the option to compete a major drawn from the Bachelor of Arts majors.

　　If you’re interested in an overseas experience, you can study at our Rome Campus, at one of our partner universities around the world, or join a short study tour to places like Israel.

　　Engage with the Bible within the context of its ongoing significance for the Christian community and the role it plays in the Christian tradition. In the biblical studies major sequence you will explore the background, history, culture, literary character and religious message of biblical texts, as well as their application in contemporary contexts. Develop a critical reading of the biblical text as sacred scripture, and broaden and deepen your engagement with the Bible in a spirit of open and critical inquiry by drawing on a wide range of tools of interpretation.
