The Graduate Certificate of Divinity is a great chance to dip your toe in the water and experience theological education. It offers you the opportunity to deepen your love of God and his word as you engage in his world by sampling a few units. The Graduate Certificate of Divinity provides you with flexibility to study units in Biblical, Systematic and Practical Theology.
Rationale
An AQF Level 8 award for advanced knowledge, professional skills and/or a pathway to further learning, the Graduate Certificate of Divinity is designed to enhance the Graduate Attributes in graduate students.
It is intended to be a general purpose award to provide students who are already graduates with an opportunity to undertake study at an advanced level of selected units in the teaching departments of Bible and Languages, Christian Thought and History and Ministry and Practice. It will serve either as an introduction to the study of Theology and Ministry by allowing students to sample units from a range of disciplines or as a means of developing a subject specialism by allowing students to select units from one or two disciplines.
