Common Questions
The Diploma of Arts consists of 8 subjects totalling 80 credit points. There is 1 core subject (Faith and Purpose, ACA001, 10 credit points) and 7 elective subjects (70 credit points), which you choose from a wide range of offerings across biblical studies, theology, and humanities.
Each subject costs $1,700, and FEE-HELP is available to eligible domestic students, allowing you to defer your fees rather than paying upfront.
The Diploma of Arts can be studied via Online Live, Mixed Mode, or Face to Face. Study locations include Online and Sydney campus, though some subjects are only available on campus — students should check the timetable to confirm location and mode for each subject.
The Diploma of Arts prepares you to enter a bachelor's degree and work in ministry positions such as pastoral assistant, youth worker, and community service roles. It also equips you with transferable skills valuable in education, not-for-profit organisations, and business, and provides a strong foundation for further studies in theology, humanities, or related fields.
The course is designed for those looking to deepen their understanding of Christian faith and culture, those who aspire to leadership roles in church, community, business, or other sectors, recent high school graduates seeking a well-rounded Christian education, and those who need a program that provides both breadth and depth of study in a flexible undergraduate format.

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.
