About The School
The Charles Sturt University School of Theology has established a reputation for high quality education. Over 400 students are enrolled at University Certificate, Bachelor, Masters and Doctoral levels, studying on our two dedicated campuses and throughout the world by distance education.
Since entering into a partnership with St Mark’s National Theological Centre in Canberra in 1995, CSU has quickly grown to provide excellent resources, including St Mark’s National Anglican Memorial Library and its distance education services.
In 1999 the United Theological College in Sydney joined the School, providing a Sydney base for teaching and supervision of research.
St Mark’s and UTC are partners in the School of Theology and are committed to working together to develop and deliver the most comprehensive theological education on offer in Australia.
Within the partnership agreement, a number of other institutions have sought access to the programs available within the School. In 2009, St Francis' Theological College (an Anglican establishment managed by the Ministry Education Commission of the Anglican Diocese of Brisbane) affiliated with St Mark’s for the purpose of delivering the full range of CSU courses and subjects. In 2011, St Barnabas’ Theological College (an Anglican establishment maintained by the Anglican Diocese of Adelaide) will also affiliate with St Mark’s.
Some students are studying for full-time ministry while the majority seeks greater understanding of faith and practice. By combining undergraduate and postgraduate education alongside opportunities for exploration of Christian vocation and ministry, the CSU School of Theology is unique within Australia.
The School's ethos is ecumenical, with Faculty staff being drawn from a variety of Christian traditions. It has developed a rigorous research focus in association with the Public and Contextual Theology Strategic Research Centre and is committed to fostering a scholarly theological community that engages with contemporary society.
