Structure

For the first two years, students will study core units in history, literature, philosophy and theology. In their third year, students are required to complete two science units and six elective units. Students may elect to complete a major by choosing four out of the six third-year electives from a single discipline. The curriculum is integrated in two ways. First, the units of study in each discipline build upon each other from year to year; the concepts mastered in first year reappear and inform the content studied in second and third year. Second, the disciplines are integrated with each other, allowing students to make connections between them each semester. For example, students learn not only about the times in which Shakespeare lived (history) and what he wrote (literature), but also how theological and philosophical debates of his time helped shape his work. Full-time students (studying four units per semester) will finish the degree in three years. Time frames for part-time students will vary.

Campion College provides the opportunity for students to apply to have prior learning considered for credit towards a Campion College course. In cases where a student has prior learning that is related to assessable components of a Campion College course, the College gives such a student the opportunity to apply for this learning to contribute directly to the completion of the Campion course in question.
