With a curriculum spanning history, literature, philosophy, theology, and classical languages, students develop a deep understanding of the ideas and traditions that have shaped Western civilisation.
With students from across Australia, we are proud to be a local institution with national reach, united by our mission to provide a foundational education that integrates the insights of faith and reason.

Alumni Testimonials
My studies at Campion fostered in me a love of learning and knowledge, and a passion for educating. After graduating, I completed a Masters of Teaching and I have been working as a teacher since then. My education in the liberal arts has taught me communication skills and critical thinking skills, which are invaluable to my work as a teacher.

I always wanted to study postgraduate medicine and saw Campion’s degree as a way to work ‘both sides of the brain’. Society needs critical thinking doctors who can thoroughly assess new medical information and make informed decisions with their patients.

Medicine Student & Surgical Theatre Assistant
I always knew that after Campion I wanted to pursue law, so I dove headfirst into a law degree and started working at Russell Kennedy Lawyers. My time at Campion was invaluable and taught me to look at law in a unique way that none of my work colleagues or fellow law students share.
Madeleine Anthony, Class of 2019
Lawyer
Campion’s degree has fostered curiosity to seek the answers behind everyday narratives and gifted me with the tools to research and communicate the answers as a journalist. Critical analysis and open minded discussion in tutorials have been invaluable to me in a fast-paced newsroom.
Ruby Brown, Class of 2022

Campion’s liberal arts degree gave me the skills necessary to make myself a desirable employee. The course fostered skills like critical thinking and problem solving. More importantly, Campion enabled me to come out of my shell and gave me the confidence to market myself to potential employers.
