SERVING AND PROSPECTIVE CLERGY

​

The academic content of the track is at seminary level.

​

*Enrolment in this track, whether as a cleric or pre-service candidate, is subject to the blessing of   the applicant’s Ruling Bishop. Pre-service candidates are expected to participate actively in the   life of their local parish and will be partnered with a clerical mentor for the duration of their   course.
 

Bachelor of Theology 

The normal qualification is the Bachelor of Theology. 

 

This is a three year full-time, or up to nine years part-time, qualification that covers the areas of knowledge required for ordained service.

Diploma in Theology

The Diploma in Theology is one year full-time, up to four years part-time. 

​

It is a basic qualification ideal for:

​​

  • Serving clergy without a formal theological qualification who are unable to commit to an extended course of study;

  • Clergy wanting a "refresher" course;

  • Clergy with a theological qualification from a non-Orthodox institution who seek a structured foundation specifically in Orthodox faith and practice; and

  • Mature-age pre-service candidates or others who due to their circumstances are unable to commit to an extended course of study.

 

​

Master of Theological Studies

Clergy Track candidates with previous tertiary qualifications in theology may be admitted to the Master of Theological Studies.
