This includes exploration of the Christian tradition as developed historically and within faith traditions. It also includes engagement in the study of the primary texts of the Christian faith (Old and New Testaments) with reflection on how those texts have been interpreted both historically and in contemporary readings. You will also get to hone your skills in communication and problem solving, alongside developing specialist knowledge and expertise in your chosen specialisation, like biblical studies, biblical languages and theology. Theories are applied and professional skills are developed through practical assessments and work-integrated learning. #### Career Opportunities Graduates of the Bachelor of Theology work in a diverse range of fields - in churches, not-for-profits, as well as commercial enterprises. We teach more than core theology, and focus on how it is applied to all areas of work, life and relationships. The Bachelor of Theology also prepares students for postgraduate studies in their area of specialisation. Your graduate employment opportunities can include: - Church pastor - Not-for-profit / Community/ Non-governmental organisation leader - Other ministry leader - Theological educator - Bible translator - Pastoral educator - Business manager ![LucaCustomSize-1](https://8830131.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/8830131/LucaCustomSize-1.png "LucaCustomSize-1") Luca Kent, Ministry student and intern with Scripture Union NSW. ### Key info | | **Full-time:** 3 years full-time | | --- | --- | | | **Part-time:** up to 10 years part-time | | | **Available Locations:** Adelaide, Auckland, Brisbane, Hobart, Melbourne, Online, Perth, Sydney | | | **Delivery modes:** Live, Recorded, Blended | | | **Intakes:** Semester 1, Semester 2 | | | **CRICOS:** 080051D | #### Subjects ##### Core: 11 Subjects ###### 110 Credit Points [BIB105 New Testament Foundations](https://8830131.hs-sites.com/subjects/?hsLang=en) [HIS102 Church History Foundations](https://8830131.hs-sites.com/subjects/?hsLang=en) [MIN101 Introduction to Pastoral Ministry](https://8830131.hs-sites.com/subjects/?hsLang=en) [MIN102 Christian Spirituality](https://8830131.hs-sites.com/subjects/?hsLang=en) [RES101 Introduction to Academic Writing and Research](https://8830131.hs-sites.com/subjects/?hsLang=en) [THE101 Christian Worldview](https://8830131.hs-sites.com/subjects/the101-christian-worldview?hsLang=en) [LEA201 Leadership Principles](https://8830131.hs-sites.com/subjects/?hsLang=en) [THE201 Christian Ethics](https://8830131.hs-sites.com/subjects/?hsLang=en) [1x BIB 200 level or higher](https://8830131.hs-sites.com/subjects/?hsLang=en) [1x THE 200 level or higher](https://8830131.hs-sites.com/subjects/?hsLang=en) ##### Specialisation: 8 Subjects ###### 80 Credit Points You can choose one of the following three areas of specialisation.
