Admission Requirements

Our courses are open to qualified applicants regardless of gender, social position, age, disability, racial, ethnic, or linguistic background.

Academic Prerequisites

There are a variety of ways in which applicants can demonstrate their suitability for a programme of undergraduate study at Vose:

  • Results in the Special Tertiary Admissions Test conducted by the Tertiary Institutions Service Centre.
  • Demonstration through life experience, maturity and motivation that the applicant will be able to finish the course of study.
  • A degree or equivalent qualification in a non-theological field is required for acceptance into the Master of Divinity, Graduate Diploma of Bible and Ministry or Graduate Diploma of Christian Studies.
  • Entry into the Master of Arts programme requires a three year degree in theology - such as the Seminary's BTh or BMin degree.

Vose's Graduate Diploma of Ministry requires one of the following:

  1. Advanced Diploma in Ministry.
  2. Bachelor of Arts majoring in Theology.
  3. Bachelor of Theology.

Full-time applicants are usually required to attend an interview. All applicants will be informed in writing of the results of their application.

Prospective students are encouraged to check the prospective students resources page to obtain application forms and further information.

Prior Learning

Students with previous relevant study and experience are invited to apply for Credit and/or Recognition of Prior Learning, recognising competencies currently held. In this way they may receive advanced standing, with both credit and exemption. This will usually require some form of assessment, which may be by a portfolio of material. Further details are available on request.

Credit: reduction in the total points required to complete a Vose or ACT qualification.

Exemptions: specific units from which students are exempted (i.e. not required to take nor allowed to enrol in because of current competencies that have been recognised).
