Graduate Diploma in Theology

Course summary

This qualification is open to applicants who have already gained a degree in an academic discipline other than theology. Applicants who have acquired theological/biblical knowledge and practical skills through personal study or professional experience (e.g., through exercising church leadership, ministry, teaching etc) are invited to apply for this award which allows them to accumulate credits, mainly at level 6 (i.e., the final year of an undergraduate degree programme). This qualification may also offer a route into Master’s level study of theology for those without an undergraduate degree in the subject, either at Spurgeon’s College or elsewhere, depending on the entry requirements of the specific Master’s programme. Units Students pursuing the Graduate Diploma can select freely from the units available in the BA programme except where they do not fulfil the stated pre-requisites, according to the table below*.  All units are 15 credit units. Unit choice may be guided by the need or desire to fill in gaps left by previous non accredited theological study, and/or the entry requirements of a specific Master’s programme. Students may also need to follow the direction of a denominational accrediting body.  *Units are subject to availability.
