The Graduate Diploma of Arts is an award designed to give students who have completed Bachelor studies in disciplines other than theology the opportunity to get a grounding in the Bible, Theology, Leadership and Ministry OR to give students who have completed the BTh a pathway into the Master of Theology. Beginning students (those who have earned a Bachelor degree in a non-theological discipline) will complete units in Old Testament, New Testament, Theology, the Person and Work of the Holy Spirit, Biblical Interpretation and more. Continuing students (those who have earned a Bachelor of Theology or equivalent) will do advanced studies in Biblical Studies, Theology and ministry. All students undertaking this award will be eligible to do a study tour of Israel for academic credit.
The Graduate Diploma of Arts involves 1 year of full-time study. This articulates directly into the various masters degrees offered by Planetshakers College.
Students who completed the Graduate Diploma of Arts will be able to:
- review, reflect on, and synthesize theological information and identify and provide resources towards resolving complex problems,
- think critically and evaluate complex ideas,
- apply specialised and creative skills in Christian living and ministry,
- communicate theologically-related knowledge, skills, and ideas to a variety of audiences.
