Teachers & Church Volunteers

Current and prospective church volunteers (e.g. Scripture Teachers, Sunday School Teachers, Parish Committee, Ladies Auxiliary, Chaplaincy Volunteers) may apply for admission into the Diploma of Christian Studies or the Graduate Diploma of Theological Studies (by on-campus weekly classes and/or distance education) with the support of a scholarship from St Andrew’s.

Employees of schools and health care facilities operating under the auspices of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia are likewise welcome to apply with the support of a scholarship.

Such persons must submit a complete application for admission and include a reference letter from their parish priest or employer which clearly describes their role.

All normal entry criteria for the Diploma of Christian Studies or the Graduate Diploma of Theological Studies must be satisfied. An entrance test (e.g. short assignment, online quiz) may be required of those seeking admission under Mature Age or Special Entry provisions for the Diploma.

Introducing the Master of Greek Philosophy

Greek philosophy remains foundational to the history of ideas in the Western and Eastern traditions. It has shaped disciplines as diverse as theology, ethics, politics, science, and metaphysics. In particular, the writings of Plato, Aristotle, and the later Hellenistic and Byzantine philosophers have exercised enduring influence on Christian theology, especially in the Patristic and medieval Byzantine periods.

The Master of Greek Philosophy cultivates advanced capacity for critical engagement with the key figures, texts, and ideas of the ancient and Byzantine Greek philosophical tradition, preparing graduates to integrate these insights in further scholarly research, higher education, ministry, or other cultural and professional spheres.
