Entry Requirements for Australian Students

The requirements for studying at Perth Bible College vary depending on the course of study that you are wishing to undertake.

Academic Requirements

Advanced Diploma in Christian Ministry:

To enter the Diploma of Ministry or the Advanced Diploma of Christian Ministry, a student must have completed year 12 in the Australian Secondary School System or equivalent (details to be submitted with application). Candidates who do not otherwise qualify for admission and who have attained the age of 21 years may be provisionally admitted as mature age students. Full admission shall be confirmed once the student has satisfactorily completed the first year.

Diploma in Ministry and Bachelor of Ministry Degree:

Every candidate for the Bachelor of Ministry Degree must be qualified for admission to an Australian University, or have other acceptable post-secondary qualifications. Mature age students can qualify for admission by obtaining a satisfactory grade in both the Essay and Test A of the “Alternative Test for Tertiary Admission” conducted by the Tertiary Institutions Service Centre Inc.

Graduate Diploma in Bible & Ministry:

Applicants for admission to the Graduate Diploma in Bible and Ministry must have a non-theological degree from any Australian University, an Advanced Diploma or any equivalent qualification.

Recognition of Prior Learning

In some cases students may already have qualifications which can be given credit toward the completion of the course they wish to take. In these cases “Advanced Standing,” in recognition of the prior learning, will be given. A notification, in writing, showing the impact of this on course duration, and the units to be completed in order to graduate, will be given.

Spiritual Requirements

People have different perceptions about what it means to come to Bible College. Some feel that they are not good enough to mix with the more spiritual people they expect to find at college. Others see Bible College as a way to escape from the pressures of modern life or to find a quick and easy way to grow spiritually. Of course, neither of these ideas is true. Perth Bible College trains ordinary people for ministry. You need only know the love of the Lord and live in a personal relationship with Him as your Saviour and Lord, and have a desire to be trained for service in God’s kingdom.

Equal Opportunity

PBC does not discriminate in the admission and access to its programmes and activities on the basis of handicap, age, sex, race, colour, national or ethnic origin. We look forward to meeting you!
