The University of Notre Dame Australia's Master of Arts program allows you to delve into subjects matching your personal interests, which you can further develop through a research component. Graduates gain valuable critical thinking and reasoning skills that appeal to potential employers. Philosophy enthusiasts will appreciate the university's specialized curriculum and holistic educational approach. While all students engage with theology and philosophy through the Core Curriculum, the Master of Arts (Philosophy) specifically caters to those with professional or personal philosophical interests. This coursework-based program features a research project alongside required and elective courses. Students take a foundational Reason and Revelation course, select 12 philosophy electives, and conclude with a customized research project.
The program commences with Reason and Revelation, examining philosophical concepts of rationality, belief systems, and their connection to theological revelation. Evaluation methods include written assignments, presentations, and research papers. Classes typically occur during evenings or standard teaching hours, blending workshops, lectures, and interactive discussions in a dynamic learning environment. Full-time students complete the degree in two years, with part-time options available for domestic applicants. Those with prior university-level philosophy studies may qualify for up to eight course credits, while applicants with unrelated Level 8 qualifications or a philosophy Major might receive up to four units of advanced standing.
