Different. Strategic. Revolutionary.
The Millis Institute is a new initiative promoting a revolution in Australian higher education.
We are inspired by a different vision of the university—not as an institution that simply provides job training but as a community of learning that also cultivates wisdom, creativity and character. Housed within Christian Heritage College in Brisbane, the Millis Institute offers three unique accredited degrees: a Bachelor of Arts in the Liberal Arts, Diploma of Liberal Arts—Foundations of Learning and Diploma of Liberal Arts—Foundations of Wisdom.
Led by Dr Ryan Messmore (DPhil Oxford), the Institute encourages students to lay a strategic foundation in thinking at the undergraduate level and to specialise at the postgraduate level. With a 1-year, 2-year, and 3-year option, our liberal arts degrees help to liberate students from a single career track and open up a broader range of options for them. Students can also take advantage of a 5-week intensive at Oxford University in England.
