Postgraduate Coursework
At postgraduate level, we offer a range of courses for those who have completed an undergraduate degree in a field other than theology.
The principal postgraduate coursework offerings through the University of Divinity are the Master of Divinity and Master of Theology.
The Master of Divinity is a three-year course of 18 units (full-time study is 6 units per year, but students may study part-time over nine years if they so choose). The Master of Divinity includes 10 core units and 8 electives.
The course includes 4 main streams of study:

There are two shorter courses offered within the Master of Divinity:

The Master of Theology is a two-year course of 12 units (full-time study is 6 units per year, but students may study part-time over five years if they so choose). The Master of Theology includes 3 core units and 8 electives.
