Common Questions
The Master of Divinity is delivered by AUCD Member Colleges: Australian College of Ministries, NAIITS: An Indigenous Learning Community, Nazarene Theological College, Nisibis Assyrian Theological College, Olivet Theological Seminary, Perth Bible College, Planetshakers College, St Andrew's Greek Orthodox Theological College, St Cyril's Coptic Orthodox Theological College. An application for enrolment is made to the Registrar of the teaching institution, who can help with information on fees, units, mode of delivery and timetable.
Fees are set by the individual Member Colleges, so students are asked to check with their enrolled college for details of fees and payment options. Unit fees are the same for both domestic and international students, and vary depending on the college, the calendar year of study, the course and the units selected. AUCD and its Member Institutions periodically review and adjust fees, and students are advised of any changes before each enrolment period opens.
AUCD is an approved higher education provider, so eligible domestic students may apply for a FEE-HELP loan to pay part or all of their tuition fees. A FEE-HELP loan does not cover costs such as accommodation, laptops or textbooks, and applications must be submitted to the Registrar at your enrolled college before the census date. International students are not eligible for FEE-HELP and pay tuition fees up front in full unless special arrangements have been made in writing.
The census date is the final day to withdraw from enrolled units without incurring the full cost, and the final date for FEE-HELP applications and for variations without penalty. An administration fee may still apply. Census dates for intensive and extensive units may differ from the standard census dates — contact the Registrar at your college for the latest academic timetable. Census dates for AUCD colleges are published under Key Dates.
Yes. The Master of Divinity is registered on CRICOS (course code 063710D) under AUCD's CRICOS provider code 02948J, and international students may enrol at Nazarene Theological College (QLD); Olivet Theological Seminary (NSW); Perth Bible College (WA); Planetshakers College (VIC); St Andrew's Greek Orthodox Theological College (NSW). International students are subject to the conditions of their Australian student visa and must maintain a full-time enrolment of four units (36 credit points) per semester. AUCD does not use agents to recruit or administer overseas students — applications must be made directly.
A candidate may seek credit up to a maximum of 108 credit points in the Master of Divinity. Credit will be granted for units that are from an equivalent award or institution and have outcomes, content, demand hours, and assessment equivalent to that of units in the Master of Divinity. Credit can be also granted when a candidate holds the Australian University College of Divinity Bachelor of Theology or equivalent degree up to a maximum of 54 credit points for Bachelor of Theology or equivalent units (where the outcomes, content demand hours and assessment are comparable to those of the Australian University College of Divinity Bachelor of Theology units) with a grade of at least 70%.

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.
