The University of Marist offers a comprehensive spectrum of academic programmes designed to challenge and inspire. Our curriculum spans the arts and humanities, the social sciences, and the natural and applied sciences, as well as professional fields such as business and technology. We are proud to host world-class faculty who bring both academic prestige and real-world expertise to the classroom.

Students are encouraged to explore across disciplines, ensuring they graduate as well-rounded scholars equipped for a rapidly changing world.

Programmes and Faculties

Undergraduate degrees at Marist typically follow a three-year curriculum (four years with an optional placement or study abroad year) that builds a strong foundation in each field. From Bachelor of Arts programmes in literature, history or philosophy, to Bachelor of Science degrees in fields like biology, computer science or economics, all courses emphasise analytical thinking and creativity. Our specialised programmes – for instance, in Artificial Intelligence or Environmental Sustainability – allow students to engage with emerging industries and global challenges. At the postgraduate level, we offer a range of Master’s programmes (MA, MSc, MBA) and research degrees (MPhil, PhD). Postgraduate study at Marist is characterised by close mentorship, advanced research opportunities, and a drive to push the boundaries of knowledge in each discipline.

Teaching Excellence

Marist’s approach to teaching is rooted in excellence and innovation. Our faculty members are not only accomplished scholars and researchers but also dedicated educators committed to student success. We employ a variety of teaching methods – from traditional lectures and lab work to interactive seminars, case studies and problem-based learning – to cater to different learning styles. A hallmark of the Marist academic experience is the personal attention students receive: lecturers and tutors maintain open-door policies, and each student is paired with an academic adviser for guidance throughout their studies. We continuously update our syllabi to reflect the latest research (often our own faculty’s discoveries) and societal needs, ensuring that what is learned in the classroom is relevant and forward-thinking. This dynamic learning environment, coupled with excellent facilities and resources, empowers our students to think critically, communicate effectively, and collaborate confidently.

Academic Support and Opportunities

Academic life at the University of Marist is supported by robust resources and opportunities beyond the classroom. Our main library offers extensive print and digital collections, as well as quiet study areas and technology suites. Students also benefit from writing centres, study skills workshops, and dedicated faculty office hours, all of which help every individual reach their full academic potential. We encourage experiential learning: many programmes include internships, industry projects or community engagement modules to bridge theory with practice. Students can also participate in research projects alongside faculty, even at the undergraduate level, gaining hands-on experience in inquiry and innovation. Furthermore, our global partnerships provide options for student exchange or overseas study trips, broadening perspectives and fostering a truly international outlook. Through these support systems and opportunities, Marist ensures that learning is a transformative journey, preparing graduates to excel in their careers and contribute meaningfully to society.
