Bachelor of Theology

About

Overview

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.

Graduate ready for careers in the public sphere, religious organisations and academia with a wide range of adaptable skills, including an enhanced capacity to analyse, critically reflect, evaluate, and bring ethical perspectives to life and work. You will also build your communication skills, grow your capacity to evaluate and discriminate between multiple viewpoints, and develop and articulate compelling arguments (both orally and in writing).

ACU strongly encourages students to be fully vaccinated. With our industry and community placement partners requiring vaccination, and with public health orders regularly changing - students can avoid interruption to their studies, placement and graduation requirements by becoming fully vaccinated.
