Master of Theological Studies Murdoch University

Explore one of the world's oldest disciplines by immersing yourself in the history, beliefs, texts, and practices of the Christian tradition. Gain in‐depth and critical knowledge of the main branches of theological study through learning about biblical studies, church history, systematic theology and practical theology. Challenge your intellectual independence through working on projects with your peers.

You'll be encouraged to ask questions, think critically, reflect deeply and act ethically in your engagement with both theology and your wider environment.

Not all students who study theology are religious themselves; all you need is an inquiring mind and passion to learn more about the significance and impact of religion in the world around us.
