Find out all you need to know about our Higher Education Awards on offer and what you need to know before you enrol by reading the booklet below.

We offer a wide range of higher education awards that will help you turn your Passion into Purpose. You might like to do just one subject or consider a short award (3 units) or something a bit longer that will help you take a deep dive in a variety of subjects.

For students who have not studied in higher education before, or are returning after a long break, we recommend that you start with the Learning for Life and Ministry unit. This unit will equip you with skills to navigate online study. It will also help you to grow as a reflective learner, to think and write critically, and provide strategies to manage the competing pressures of life and ministry.

Undergraduate Coursework Awards

  • Undergraduate Certificate in Divinity - 4 units

    The Undergraduate Certificate in Divinity is a great starting place. This award will help you learn and apply the basics in the area that you want to study. Taking only one semester of full-time study or two semesters of part-time study to complete you can explore areas such as history, biblical studies, theology, mission and ministry, and spirituality. If you have been considering studying this would be the perfect place to start!

  • Diploma in Theology - 8 units

    Whether your interest is preparing for ministry or simply part of a personal faith journey, the Diploma of Theology offers you grounding in the Bible and theology as well as giving you options from a broad selection of other areas such as mission and leadership.

  • Advanced Diploma in Theology and Ministry - 16 units

    Building upon the Diploma in Theology, the Advanced Diploma offers you an opportunity to expand the breadth and depth of your knowledge and skills according to your interests.

  • Bachelor of Ministry - 24 units

    The Bachelor of Ministry allows you to focus on developing your ministry and leadership skills. This award will help you to build a theological framework for ministry to help you to respond to the complex demands of ministry with maturity and creativity.

  • Bachelor of Theology - 24 units

    Theology is more than “talk about God” but includes the whole of our lives. Sharing a similar number of units with the Bachelor of Ministry, the Bachelor of Theology offers you grounding in theological studies while also providing other study options such as mission and leadership.

Postgraduate Coursework Awards

Higher Degree by Research

Units of Study

Select what you would like to study (units) and begin the journey of turning your Passion into Purpose!

Minor Thesis and Research Projects

Minor Thesis and Research Project units are available each semester. Any plans to do such units must be discussed with the Academic Dean at least two months prior to commencement.

Audit Student

You can also study one or more units as an audit student. This will give you an opportunity to try studying online or for the purposes of self-enrichment or exploration. This option means that you can benefit from your studies without needing to complete any assignments.

Non Award Student

You can also study one or more units as a non-award student where you will complete the tasks and assignments and study towards credit. This means that if you decide to take your study further and enrol in a full degree program, your study could count towards your degree.
