What’s the difference between Ministry and Theology?
Our Bachelor of Ministry and Bachelor of Theology courses are the same at their core, giving you a firm foundation in Leadership Principles and Christian Spirituality. Where they differ is in your choice of electives and specialisations.
Ministry
Ministry gives you the freedom to focus more on your preaching and practical, pastoral skills.
Theology
Theology encourages you to learn Biblical languages, and explore in-depth the books of the Old and New Testaments.
Pathways
Our courses give you the flexibility to start with the course that suits you. You can easily build your qualifications with our streamlined pathways.3
