| What it is | A certificate in theology is a one-year study of religious beliefs, texts, and traditions, usually rooted in Christian thought but often including comparative religion. Unlike a full degree, it offers focused training without the breadth of a bachelor's program and is designed for part-time study, so you can work or manage other commitments while completing it. It suits people exploring faith questions, seeking foundational knowledge for ministry or pastoral work, or wanting to deepen understanding of religious traditions alongside other pursuits. | You enter this program without committing to a specific major, taking first-year courses across subjects like English, history, psychology, philosophy, and sociology. This gives you time to explore different areas of arts study before declaring a focus at the end of year one, rather than applying directly to a named program. It suits students who are interested in humanities and social sciences but unsure which direction fits them best. | A Bachelor of Arts is a three-year undergraduate degree where you study humanities and social sciences rather than sciences or professional fields. You choose a major from subjects like English, history, philosophy, or geography, and take electives across the range offered. It suits students who want broad knowledge in how people, societies, and ideas work, without committing to a specific career path at the start. |
