Bachelor of Theology

The University of Notre Dame Australia

The University of Notre Dame Australia’s Bachelor of Theology could be the degree for you. Theology holds a central place in the life and mission of any Catholic university. Our Bachelor of Theology is designed to help you to develop the skills necessary to examine Scripture and the traditions of the Catholic Church – thus deepening your faith and your ability to work more effectively in the Christian community. Those who know theology, and can articulate those concepts clearly, can make significant contributions to society. The Bachelor of Theology is a three-year degree designed to provide students with a grounding in Biblical and Theological Studies and associated disciplines. The program covers Church History, Moral Theology, Biblical Studies, Doctrinal or Systematic Theology and Sacramental Theology and Liturgy. You will learn more about your faith and how to examine it with academic expertise, emphasising the importance of communicating reasoned beliefs to others.

Within the Catholic Intellectual Tradition, theology relies upon philosophy, and philosophy reaches out to what theology has to offer. As a theology student, you will learn to think well by creatively entering the dynamic relationship between these disciplines. With this degree, you will be ideally prepared for Catholic ministry and other religious education, academic teaching, youth work, and pastoral care opportunities. You will have the skills and imagination to approach contemporary problems in various ways.
