Undergraduate Awards

Undergraduate Awards

Are you wishing to enhance your theological knowledge for spiritual development or to assist you in ministry and mission? Undergraduate study can also be a means to move on to further studies in theology and associated disciplines. Undergraduate students may choose to study either a Diploma or Advanced Diploma in Theology, or a Bachelor of Theology. Units are taught at the same level so progression can be made from one award to the next. Most units may be undertaken online or in a face-to-face setting.

Contact Dr Lisa Agaiby for the SRU and Capstone units below.

Supervised Reading Unit

With the approval of the Academic Dean and under the guidance of an appropriate supervisor, students may undertake a Supervised Reading Unit (SRU) as part of their undergraduate course.

The content, learning outcomes, bibliography and type of assessment will be proposed by the student in consultation with the supervisor (a member of faculty), and approved by the Academic Dean. Students taking a supervised reading unit (SRU) will be required to meet with the supervisor at least monthly.

In addition to the re-enrolment procedure, an SRU Approval Template must be completed by the student and supervisor and submitted for approval to the SAC Academic Dean at least one week prior to the semester census date. Students may link this unit and its assessment tasks to an existing unit or participation or presentation in a scholarly conference during the semester in which the unit is taken.

In consultation with the supervisor, students may audit a coursework unit related to an SRU to guide their reading, thinking and writing.

Capstone Project
Capstone projects aim to support and encourage the integration of student learning across theological disciplines by means of the completion of a project that draws on the student’s prior learning and directs it towards an integrative treatment of a chosen topic. Projects must include explicit engagement with methodologies, concepts and content from more than one discipline and show awareness of the issues related to creative and effective communication of theological ideas. In consultation with their supervisor, the topics will be determined by the participants’ own interests and experience. Students will be expected to present their ideas to their peers and members of the Faculty.
