It awards diplomas through to doctorates, taught by 16 affiliated colleges across Australia such as Morling College, Ridley College, Sydney Missionary and Bible College and Melbourne School of Theology. Most courses are in theology, ministry, divinity and missional leadership, and some are also taught in Chinese.
