Course Details
The SMBC Master of Divinity (MDiv) is designed to prepare you for full-time vocational ministry.
It will give you comprehensive biblical foundations (Old Testament and New Testament) along with deeper study of theology, ethics, church history, cross-cultural mission, preaching and pastoral care. It also provides room for electives which allow you to tailor your course to your interests. A requirement of this course is study of the biblical languages.
Whilst covering the same content as the bachelor degrees, the MDiv academic assessments are at a higher level and offer the possibility of an accelerated pathway to higher degrees by research.
The MDiv is one of the highest levels of study and well recognised by churches and mission agencies. It equips you to preach, teach and provide leadership in ministry and mission – in Australia and overseas.
Note: Studying the MDiv full-time will also provide you the opportunity to concurrently do the SMBC Certificate in Bible and Mission (CBM). The CBM gives you access to all the benefits of SMBC’s expertise in spiritual formation, cross-cultural mission and pastoral ministry. It includes some extra classes, community activities, conferences and College Mission.
