About Bachelor of Theology/Bachelor of Philosophy, UG:Bachelor - at Australian Catholic University (ACU)

Minimum Duration:

4 years full-time or equivalent part-time

Campus:

Ballarat, Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne, Strathfield

This unique double degree provides you with the broad knowledge, skills and flexibility offered by a liberal arts program, but enhanced by a specialised focus on two of the oldest academic disciplines and conversation partners: theology and philosophy.

The Bachelor of Theology/Bachelor of Philosophy is designed to equip you with an understanding of the foundations of the modern world and Western civilisation, and to enhance your capacity to critically engage with and respond to some of the key challenges faced by societies, governments and organisations today. You'll be introduced to a broad range of ideas, and will engage with fundamental questions of knowledge, identity, faith and value.

Studying theology and philosophy sharpens your clarity of thought, enhances your ability to analyse and evaluate arguments, and develops your written and oral communication skills. These skills are all highly transferable and advantageous to careers across a broad range of industries and organisations.

Global experience is strongly encouraged, with study abroad opportunities available at the ACU Rome Centre, with one of our partner institutions in Europe or the United States, or as part of a study tour to places such as Israel.

The integrated study unit at the end of the course provides you with a taste of research in your chosen area, and sets you up for the possibility of undertaking an Honours year, and perhaps even, beyond that, further research at Higher Degree level.
