Build skills for life

ACU School of Theology

If you are curious about the origin, nature and future of religion in society, theology is for you. It’s for inquisitive and enquiring minds – those eager to probe the foundations of the Christian faith, the development of its central teachings and philosophies, and its relationship with the modern world.

You will be encouraged to explore the meaning of existence and living, and uncover the meaning of “faith seeking understanding”.

Learning opportunities

Whatever your stage of life or career, we have a learning opportunity to suit. We offer short courses, certificate and bachelor opportunities, postgraduate coursework programs, professional and research degrees, international study tours, and a wide range of professional development and in-service opportunities.
