THE Master of Professional Studies
in Theology (MPST) is designed to
strengthen the capacity of profes-
sionals to lead and engage specifi-
cally within a Catholic context.
The MPST is:
l Ideal for teachers, leaders and staff in
Catholic education, as well as those working
in Catholic and other Church-based organisa-
tions, including health care, aged care and social
services, seeking a deeper level of engagement
with theology.
l Specifically designed for professionals who
may complete the program in one-and-a-half
years (full-time or part-time equivalent).
l Offered via multiple entry points, with
recognition for professional experience and
prior learning. ACU provides 80 and 40 credit
point (cp) pathways, if the student has relevant
post-graduate qualifications with some eligibility
criteria applying.
For Catholic education professionals, the op-
portunity to strengthen their capacity to enhance
the Catholic identity of their current setting is a
highlight.
ACU’s programs support students to address
the needs of students and staff by exploring
contextual approaches to theology and scripture,
potentially transforming religious education.
ACU offers spaced-learning units conducted
locally, study tours, residential intensives and
opportunities for face-to-face engagement with
international and local thinkers in Catholic iden-
tity and contextual theology.
