Graduate Certificate
School of Philosophy & Theology
Are you a qualified teacher who would like to teach religious studies in NSW's Catholic school system? If so, the Graduate Certificate in Religious Education has been specifically created to meet your needs. 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.
The Graduate Certificate in Religious Education from The University of Notre Dame Australia offers
applicants the opportunity to achieve accreditation to teach Religious Education in a Catholic school
as defined by Sydney Catholic Schools and Catholic Education Diocese of Parramatta.
During your studies you will develop a profound understanding of the essential elements of Catholic
belief - the mystery of salvation through Christ, the nature of Revelation and sacramental theology.
