Keen to be better equipped to serve God in your church, workplace, home?

Are you in a part-time or associate ministry role, and would like some theological training and a recognized qualification with a strong emphasis on Bible & Theology?

Thinking that you should be training for ministry, but aren’t yet sure whether a three or four year theological degree is right for you?

If any of these describe you, then the QTC Diploma of Theology (DipTh) is an option seriously worth considering. You don’t need to have studied at uni before to be able to enrol in the DipTh.

Along the way, you will get to hear more from the range of visiting pastors and scholars that pass through QTC – many of whom spend time in the classroom with our students. Recent speakers have included Matt Chandler, Daniel Block, Michael Horton, Kathleen Nielson, John Piper, Don Carson, Mark Dever, Douglas Moo, Carl Trueman, Richard Bauckham,  Kent Hughes, & Christopher Wright.

Mode of Study: On Campus (Day and Evening) and Online
