Course overview
The Bachelor of Philosophy/Bachelor of Theology is a double degree that epitomises the University of Notre Dame Australia’s commitment to Catholic principles of thought as it combines a detailed study of both philosophy and theology. This comprehensive degree investigates the history of Western philosophy as it constantly engages with ideas of theological significance. It addresses foundational philosophical principles while at the same time exploring the teachings and traditions of the Church in Catholic Theology. Students learn to reflect philosophically and theologically, using appropriate methods that enable investigation of the history of ideas, up to the present day, and Scripture and Tradition.
