The University of Notre Dame Australia

Graduate Diploma of Theological Studies

Nationally Recognised Higher Education

At The University of Notre Dame Australia, we provide postgraduate degrees in an atmosphere that emphasises the importance of community. Committed to excellence, the pursuit of a shared fulfilling life, the pastoral care of students and staff, we offer a uniquely personal approach to learning and teaching.

From its beginnings, Western philosophical thought has always emphasised the importance of the ‘examined life’ for valuing the whole person and promoting an ethical and informed way of living. Theology takes such investigation still further, by examining how God reveals himself to us, through Scripture and Tradition. In this degree, students are able to bring together faith and reason, to pursue a personally enriching program of study.

When undertaking the Graduate Diploma of Theological Studies, you will choose eight courses from the list published by our School of Philosophy & Theology. Catholic Theology has developed with the history of the Church, becoming a rich field for the critical study and interpretation of Revelation, particularly in significance for the world.

Whether you are preparing for the Ministry or pastoral work, you will find that the Graduate Diploma of Theological Studies appeals both to experienced students and those whose interest in knowing the faith more has been ignited. Explore this subject with experienced lecturers and likeminded peers, enriching all aspects of your life through the study of the Catholic faith.

Notre Dame is a private Catholic University, extending from the West Coast of Australia in the beautiful and historic City of Fremantle, to the North-West town of Broome and across the continent to the heart of Sydney.

We embrace the ancient and esteemed traditions of Catholic Universities in Europe, North America and 2000 years of the Catholic Intellectual Tradition. We welcome people of all faiths or none at all. As an academic community, we welcome open and rigorous enquiry, debate and discussion.

We have an enrolment of over 12,000 students and offer a comprehensive range of undergraduate and postgraduate programs. Our student experience, employment and graduate outcomes are among the very best in Australia.

We provide our students with the theoretical knowledge and professional skills which will empower them to realise their potential, build interconnectedness with all peoples and willingly serve the community through active participation, engagement and reflection.

We have a powerful commitment to honouring the individual and recognise that each student is graced with their own gifts and talents. We believe that higher education should prepare students for a rich, fulfilling and reflective life, not just a career path.
