What Studies Can I Do at Whitley?
- You can enrol in any one of three diplomas, one Bachelor degree, five Masters degrees or three doctorates!
- You can enrol in one unit.
- You can study full-time, part-time, or just one unit a semester in your spare time.
- You can audit a unit (that is, participate, but not do it for credit towards a degree).
The undergraduate handbook explains the options in detail, but basically:
If you have the VCE or equivalent, or are a mature age student, you can enrol in:
- Bachelor of Theology (BTheol)
- Diploma in Ministry (DipMin)
- Advanced Diploma in Ministry (AdvDipMin)
- Associate Diploma in Ministry (AssocDipMin)
The units listed in the undergraduate handbook can be taken towards the Advanced Diploma in Ministry, Diploma in Ministry and Associate Diploma in Ministry.
- If you have arrived in Australia with a first language other than English, you can enrol in the Saturday TransFormation classes, which can be part of your Diploma studies. Or if your English is good enough for Degree level work, you can enrol in our two English for Theological Studies units in order to prepare you for the BTheol.
- If you already have a Degree in another discipline from an accredited tertiary institution (a BA, BSc, BEd, and so on), you can enrol in either the BTheol, or the Graduate Diploma in Theology (GradDipTheol), or the Master of Divinity (MDiv). Students wishing to undertake Graduate studies should note that there is a separate Handbook setting out all details.
- If you already have a theological degree from another provider, we can talk to you about further studies at an advanced level in the MA (Theol); MMin; MTheol; and MTS degrees, or work at Doctoral level (PhD, DMinSt, DTheol - see the Graduate Entry Studies section of this Handbook).
- If you are an audit student, for a reduced fee ($300) for most units, you can attend all the classes, receive all the notes, but not do the assessment for credit.
You do not have to be sure about whether you will ever complete a degree in order to begin one. The important thing is to start the journey ……
