The Bachelor of Christian Studies is one of our most versatile and unique awards. It provides a fantastic benefit for those interested in Business, Music, Education and other disciplines, as it allows students to incorporate one year of tertiary study from another institution in their theological training. You will gain a Christian perspective on work and life, integrating your faith with the knowledge and skills you receive from your chosen university.
The Bachelor of Christian Studies requires the satisfactory completion of 24 units totalling 288 credit points. A full-time rate consists of 3-4 units per semester, and part-time of 1-2 units per semester.
The equivalent of one year of fulltime equivalent from degree level study at an Australian University in a non-theological field of which at least 75% must form a coherent area of study is applied as 96cps (eight units) of Recognised Prior Learning, leaving 192cps (sixteen units) to complete.
