How to Apply
Contact Us
Establishing initial contact with the college is an essential part of the application process at MST. Feel free to contact us via telephone +61 3 9881 7800 or email mst@mst.edu.au to discuss your intention to study and your course options.
Determine Your Assessment Level
Immigration has now a new Simplified Student Visa Framework (SSVF). They are no longer using the assessment level but the provider and country’s immigration risk rating in determining the requirements for financial capacity and English proficiency. For more information and clarification of your requirements click here.
Submitting Application & Reference Forms
To apply, email the Applications Coordinator applications@mst.edu.au to request an Overseas Application Form, as well as three Reference Forms to be filled in by your Pastor, your Employer, and a Friend. These forms will need to be filled in and emailed back to the Applications Coordinator to register for the following semester intake.
Please Note: Application processes can take from 1 to 2 months, so plan well in advance.
Provide Evidence
You will need to provide evidence that you or a suitable sponsor will be able to pay for your tuition and living costs. Evidence required is stipulated on the above Australian Immigration website listed in Point 2.
Processing your Application
Once the Enrolment office has received your application form (completed in full), with all reference forms, transcripts, certificates, and other documentation, your application will be reviewed by the Applications Committee.
Offer of Study
If the Applications Committee has approved your application, it will be forwarded to the Australian College of Theology (ACT) for their assessment. If approved by the ACT, they will send you the “formal offer and overseas student written agreement” by email. You will need to sign the agreement and return this to ACT. ACT office will then send you a Confirmation of Enrolment (COE).
