About

Are you a qualified teacher who would like to teach religious studies in NSW’s Catholic school system?

This degree, which has been approved by the Catholic Education Office in Sydney, consists of two compulsory courses and two electives, and can be completed in six months of full-time study.

Since classes are held during school holidays, weekends and evenings, the program will appeal to full-time teachers with limited study time.
