A one-year full-time course The CourseThe Graduate Diploma of Divinity (GradDipDiv) provides a concentrated and flexible course of biblical study for students who hold a university degree in a non-theological field. It equips them to serve God effectively as lay people in their chosen career or vocation. Mission organizations generally recognise this course as adequate training in biblical studies for those preparing to work in their profession. The GradDipDiv articulates to the MDiv. However, students who may wish to proceed to the MDiv should take this into account when choosing their units. If the GradDipDiv is awarded, it must be surrendered when the MDiv is completed. Entry RequirementsEach student for the GradDipDiv must have an approved three-year non-theological undergraduate degree from a recognised university or its equivalent. Except for those candidates who have completed the three-year degree or equivalent taught in English, international students whose first language is not English, must achieve an average score of 6.5, with no score under 6.00 in an IELTS test. Graduates in theology however are ineligible to be enrolled in the Graduate Diploma. Overseas students on a student visa must study full-time. Course RequirementsThe full time course is composed of compulsory and elective units normally taken together over two semesters (one year). A total of 32 credit points are required to complete the Graduate Diploma. Full time students normally study four subjects each semester. Students may study the degree part-time but must complete it within four years. SUMMARY OF UNITS
