Christian Studies (Arts)

The Area Of Study

Christian studies units are available to students at Macquarie University through a creative arrangement with Macquarie Christian Studies Institute (MCSI), a private, fees-based provider located on the Macquarie University campus. Christian faith is not a requirement for engaging in these units or a factor in grading.

MCSI encourages students to research and critically consider biblical teaching and Christian faith perspectives and apply them towards addressing workplace and day-to-day issues. Foundational units in the first year focus on understanding the Bible and on comparing the Christian worldview with other significant philosophies and belief systems in Western culture. Advanced level units cover a wide range of topics, including biblical studies, practical spirituality, world religions, ethics, social theory, economics, popular culture, media, education and counselling.

Degrees and Accreditation

MCSI units are all approved by Macquarie University for inclusion as electives in any of its undergraduate degree programs. MCSI units are added to Macquarie University academic transcripts on a satisfactory/fail basis.

MCSI units are accredited by the Australian College of Theology and can be applied to a Bachelor of Christian Studies, or in some cases to a Graduate Diploma in Christian Studies offered at that College.
