Admission Requirements

Postgraduate Courses (Master of Divinity)

  •  Applications must have completed a three-year non-theological degree or its equivalent.
  • Applicants who have completed all their previous studies in a language other than English will be required to achieve an IELTS test (or equivalent) score of 7 or greater, with no score less than 6.5 in each band.
  • Applicants who do not meet the above criteria may apply for Professional Entry (as indicated on the relevant course). This entry requires the applicant to possess a minimum of 3-5 years of relevant work experience in a relevant ministry or leadership role.

Since admission to an SCD course is conditional upon the student’s acceptance by SCD, applicants must complete and submit a full admission application to OTS for entry into advertised courses. On the basis of information supplied on the admission form, OTS will confirm full acceptance once confirmed by SCD.

Undergraduate Courses (Diploma and Bachelor Level)

 Admission may be granted to an undergraduate course on one or more of the following bases:

  • Attainment of a satisfactory standard for the Higher School Certificate (or its equivalent), such as to gain entry to a university. 
  • Mature Age entry: To qualify for mature age entry for an AQF 7 award, the applicant needs to have reached the age of 21 years by the commencement date of the course. To qualify for mature age entry for an AQF 5 award, the applicant needs to have reached the age of 20 years by the commencement date of the course.
  • Special Entry: To qualify under this category, the applicant must be able to produce evidence that substantiates their ability to complete a tertiary course.
  • Applicants who have completed all their previous studies in a language other than English will be required to achieve an IELTS test (or equivalent) score of 6.5 or greater, with no score less than 6.0 in each band.
