Common Questions
Yes. This course meets the theological qualification requirements to be an ordained minister in churches that are part of the Australian Christian Churches movement, which represents over 1,100 churches throughout Australia and neighbouring countries. If your church is part of another denomination, you should check with your church or denomination office to see if this course is also recognised for credentialled ministry.
Yes, but you will need to complete four specific elective subjects to gain entry to professional bodies (CPA Australia or Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand) as well as gaining a major in accounting.

The course takes 4 years full-time, or up to 12 years part-time. It consists of 32 subjects in total.
The course is available via Online Recorded, Online Live, Mixed Mode, and Face to Face study modes. Campus locations include Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, and Adelaide, though some subjects may only be available on campus — students should check the timetable to confirm location and mode.

Honestly I was lost when I first started looking at Australian colleges. There are just too many options and every agent gives you different info. A friend told me about FindTheCourses and within a week I had shortlisted 3 programs that actually matched my budget and visa situation. My advisor Sanjay was super helpful — never felt like I was being pushed into anything.
