UnderGraduate and PostGraduate Studies

Undergraduate study may have a minimum ATAR entry requirement. Certain high school subjects in the fields of ancient history, studies of religion, and classical and Modern Greek language may provide helpful preparation for theological studies, but are not compulsory for admission. A good command of the English language is essential.

Postgraduate coursework degrees are intended for students wishing to expand on their undergraduate learning, undertake specialised research, gain an advantage in their career, or make a career or vocational change. You can even apply for postgraduate theological studies after completing a bachelor degree in a non-theological field of study at any recognised university. Theological study can form an important complement to teaching and social work qualifications obtainable from various universities, just to name two examples. Postgraduate coursework study leads to the awards of Graduate Diploma of Theological Studies, Master of Theological Studies, and Master of Divinity. Thereafter you may pursue higher research towards a Doctorate (PhD or ThD).

Completion of a Bachelor of Theology degree may qualify you to progress to a Bachelor of Theology (Honours) or a Master of Theology. Thereafter you may pursue higher research towards a Doctorate (PhD or ThD).
