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.

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.
