The Salvation Army Booth College

What can I study?

Our higher education awards cater for a range of study interests and qualifications in the discipline of theology, ministry or divinity are available. We offer a full range of higher education awards, from diploma to doctorate level, or consider undertaking one or more units of study as a non-award student for personal or professional development.

Why study ministry and theology?

The study of theology is part philosophy, part history, part anthropology, and also something entirely its own. The study of ministry is about the outworking of Christian faith and practice in our world today. Students will engage with the complexities of the nature of God; taking on the challenging questions about the meaning of religion and the impact it has on our society.

What can we offer you?

All our units are accredited through the University of Divinity, which is registered with the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA), Australia's independent national quality assurance and regulatory agency for higher education. If you undertake studies in higher education you are a student of the University of Divinity and join one of eleven colleges of different faith traditions, gaining access to units and services across all eleven colleges.

Also, our friendly staff, lecturers and librarians are here to assist you access to a broad range of support services, online learning communities and course advice that both informs and inspires your learning.

What financial support is available?
