Whether you're drawn to philosophy, ethics, or critical thinking, this program provides a broad liberal arts foundation that prepares graduates for further study or careers in education, writing, and public service.
This Bachelor Degree (AQF Level 7) falls under the field of Society and Culture, specifically Philosophy and Religious Studies (091701 Philosophy). Students engage with foundational questions about existence, knowledge, values, reason, and meaning. The liberal arts approach encourages interdisciplinary thinking, combining philosophy with history, literature, and social sciences. Graduates typically develop strong analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills applicable to a wide range of professions. While the exact syllabus is set by Campion Institute Limited, you can expect a curriculum that emphasises critical inquiry, ethical reasoning, and the ability to construct and evaluate arguments—skills highly valued by employers across sectors.
The course is delivered over 2 years 11 months (~151 weeks) as recorded on the CRICOS register. The language of instruction is English. This is a single qualification—no dual qualification or foundation studies are attached. Campion Institute Limited may offer the program on a full-time basis, typically requiring a commitment of around 20–25 contact hours per week plus independent study. International students are expected to maintain full-time enrolment to comply with student visa conditions.
Tuition fees for the entire course are indicated at A$95,256, with non-tuition fees of A$900, bringing the estimated total to A$96,156. These fees are indicative only, sourced from the CRICOS register, and are set by Campion Institute Limited. They do not include Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC), living costs (accommodation, food, transport), or the visa application charge.

The indicative English language requirement is IELTS 6.0–6.5 overall, with no band below 5.5–6.0 (or equivalent in other recognised tests like TOEFL or PTE). Applicants are typically expected to have completed Australian Year 12 or an overseas equivalent that satisfies the institution’s academic entry standards. If you do not meet these directly, Campion Institute may offer foundation or pathway programs—contact them for details. Always verify entry requirements with the provider as they are subject to change.
This course does not include a mandatory work component. However, as a Student visa (Subclass 500) holder, you may work up to 48 hours per fortnight during term time and unlimited hours during scheduled course breaks, subject to visa conditions. The ESOS Act ensures your rights as an international student, including access to support services.

Follow these three steps to start your journey: 1. Research CRICOS-registered providers using the official CRICOS register or resources like HeadStart Academy. Filter by course level (Bachelor Degree), field (Philosophy), and location (NSW/Old Toongabbie). 2. Apply directly to Campion Institute Limited. Check entry requirements, prepare your English test scores (IELTS 6.0–6.5 or equivalent), and submit transcripts. Deadlines vary—contact the provider. 3. Receive your Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) and apply for your Student visa (Subclass 500). Ensure you have OSHC, financial evidence, and meet GTE. Once approved, you can travel to Australia and begin your studies.
Old Toongabbie offers a quieter, suburban lifestyle compared to central Sydney, with lower rental costs and access to green spaces. The area is serviced by the Toongabbie train station, providing a 40-minute commute to the Sydney CBD. The suburb has a diverse population, including many international students from nearby institutions. If you prefer a more affordable and relaxed environment while still being close to a major city, Old Toongabbie could be an excellent choice. However, the social and cultural scene is less vibrant than in the city centre. Consider your priorities regarding cost, convenience, and lifestyle.
