Our programs not only fully explore the Catholic intellectual tradition, but also encourage you to consider and question the fundamental assumptions we make about life itself. A key component of this commitment is the University’s Core Curriculum, which brings students from all Schools together to explore the concepts of Ethics, Philosophy and Theology. This program provides an opportunity to exercise your critical reasoning skills and engage in discussion and collaborative learning with students from all university disciplines (see page 21). For keen travellers our Immersion Experiences provide the opportunity to explore cities like Athens, Rome and Jerusalem, and connect with the local community through active participation, engagement and reflection.
