Advanced Diploma of Theology – Advanced Diploma of Ministry

The AdvDipTh and AdvDipMin each provide a systematic introduction to the classic theological disciplines, which is suitable for one or more areas of ministry practice (e.g., youth ministry, chaplaincy or as a missionary) but not at the level requiring a Bachelor’s degree.

Students who successfully complete one of the advanced diplomas may then enrol in the other course and receive the second award upon completion of four more units. A full-time student who enrols in both of the Advanced Diplomas can finish in two years. By carefully choosing one’s elective units it may be possible to obtain a Bachelor’s degree in Theology or Ministry by completing one more year of full-time study at another Australian College of Theology affiliated college.
