COURSE DESCRIPTION
At The University of Notre Dame Australia, we empower students to established and refine their research skills in a connected and nurturing environment. Our Master of Theology degree is just one way you can carry out substantial research in one of the key areas of study at the University. Each candidate will be assigned two supervisors who provide support and guidance throughout their degree – until your thesis is put forward for examination.
The Master of Theology enables students to carry out substantial research in one of the key areas of study. As a Catholic university, Notre Dame is committed to the statement of Ex Corde Ecclesiae that “theology plays a particularly important role in the search for a synthesis of knowledge as well as in the dialogue between faith and reason”.
The Master of Theology enables students to research how the Church has come to understand the deposit of faith in history and to carry out research of perennial significance within the context of contemporary scholarship, using authentic methods of interpretation.
