Shaping the future through Christ-centred research

About AC Research

AC Research support AC’s mission of equipping Christian leaders to change the world by transforming lives locally, nationally, and globally through advances in knowledge across multiple fields. We aim to cultivate and sustain a research culture that empowers faculty and higher degree research students in their calling to be public witnesses to Christ in various disciplines. We promote collaboration with external partners, including churches and faith-based organisations, in ways that will lead to real-world impact through advances in knowledge.

Our researchers are active across a wide range of fields, including education, business, social science, theology, ministry, biblical studies, economics, communication, and leadership. Visit this page to learn about our 9 interdisciplinary areas of research excellence.

AC Research provides grant funding, training, and professional development, while also hosting research events such as seminars and international conferences. We provide resources for HDR candidates, including funding for academic conferences, methodological training, research software, and professional development. A wide range of financial support is provided to AC faculty to help them develop new research projects, publish in top international journals, and maximise the impact of their research findings.

Our higher degree research (HDR) programs include the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Doctor of Ministry (DMin), and Master of Philosophy (MPhil), in the broad fields of theology, education, and business. All our HDR programs are also available in Korean.
