What our students are saying

Through the years of my faith journey, finding CTC was the best gift that I could ever receive.

I learned that our Catholic faith is deep in truth and wisdom, thanks to CTC’s amazing lecturers that have guided me through my studies.

I am forever grateful.

Grateful to meet so many theologians, brothers, sisters, priests and lay.
Thanks be to God.
Juliet Oei

My time at Catholic Theological College has invited me to investigate the early traditions of the Church and discover the depths of spirituality.
The discussions in class (and in the Common Room) provide students with an invitation to learn, critique, discern and broaden one’s own thinking.
The support of staff in the holistic development of students demonstrates a particularly compassionate and considerate approach to their operations.
From the moment you walk into the Thomas Carr Centre, you are often greeted with a smile and welcomed by name — not many universities can offer you a personalised experience like that. Gerry Vytilingam

Michelle

I’m so pleased and honoured to have experienced interesting and significantly meaningful topics as part of the course, which “came alive” due to my lecturers’ commitment to such formation.

Lindsay

My time at CTC was always guaranteed to include the high quality delivery of deep theological insights, but also helped me develop the skills to understand and enjoy the process of researching and sharing my insights.

Geralyn

My experience at CTC has offered me a deeply enriching experience of ‘faith seeking understanding’ in the Catholic intellectual tradition, providing me with a thorough grounding in the foundational areas of theology whilst always enticing me to seek to know more.

Sandra

Age presented no barrier in achieving a Master of Theological Studies at CTC. My aim (to be a blessing to others) was particularly achieved through a double supervised reading unit…which has been presented nationally and internationally through the Catholic School of Evangelisation.

Michelle

CTC was an incredibly welcoming space where I was supported in all my studies.

Simeon

I have observed and encountered that studying at CTC is peaceful and reflective. The staff and lecturers are always supportive of my faith learning journey.

Bradley

My time at CTC has been both educational and enlightening, the smaller class sizes and experienced lecturers have nurtured my learning as well.

Katie

I have loved my PhD journey with CTC not only do you feel very confident in the knowledge and wisdom of the faculty but the support structures in place for students have provided me with the care and support I needed to navigate the highs and lows of completing a thesis. I would recommend CTC to anyone wanting to do a PhD.

Olek

Being a student at CTC has been a blessing. From the depth of interactions between the students, to the support of the teachers, it has been grace-filled. It has given me the tools to critically analyse various points of view while at the same time deepened my faith.

Anthony

As a student progressing through the formation and discernment processes toward the Permanent Diaconate, my experience of CTC has been, and continues to be very positive. The staff are experts in their fields of study, and are very supportive and caring of the students on their learning journeys.

Mark

I have valued the opportunity to study through the Catholic Theological College at the University of Divinity, Melbourne and have been well supported and guided by my two supervisors The very Rev. Dr Shane Mackinlay and Rev. Dr Chris Mulherin. There wisdom and expertise have been invaluable. I hope to complete my thesis within the next 18 months.
