School of Theological Studies

The School of Theological Studies (STS) provides study opportunities for a wide range of students, including people who wish to follow a particular vocational pathway for work in the church, and those who want to study theology for personal interest and enjoyment.

STS accepts full time and part time student enrolments, either for attendance on campus or through flexible education; including study in vocational or higher education programs. You can also choose a single unit enrolment, either for credit or audit. In addition, STS offers Grassroots Training and regular non-award evening classes.

Students who meet the entrance requirements may also enrol in a Graduate Certificate in Theology, a general or specialised Graduate Diploma in Theology, or the Master of Arts (Theology).
