Diploma of Theology - Course Handbook
The Diploma of Theology is the UCN School of Theologies' premier course, providing students with an strong introduction to biblical study, the church and academic theological study. With a broad range of foundation units, students will study many of the core aspects of christianity enabling them to continue to grow in their faith and become more confident navigating and applying scripture and concepts to theological questions and everyday life.
To receive a Diploma of Theology, students will complete 16 credit points (4 subjects) including 2 foundation units and 2 elective units.
