Description The Diploma of Christian Studies is an undergraduate award based wholly on Bachelor of Theology units. It is designed to introduce students to Christian studies within higher education. Graduates will have acquired basic knowledge, skills, and values of Christian relevance to their professional, family, church, social, or personal lives and have deepened their awareness of the nature and scope of theology and their affinity with it as a field of study within higher education. Some graduates may have taken the opportunity to focus their elective studies in such a way as to complete a major. In this case, they will have acquired the skills, knowledge, and values outlined for the respective majors as set out for the Bachelor of Theology (see BTh section).
