Online Application

There are five pages in your online application, and it will take you a few minutes to complete.

There are two awards that can be studied through the Timothy Partnership; the Certificate of Theology and the Diploma of Theology.

The two pastoral subjects required for Chaplaincy are part of the Certificate. If you wish to study only these subjects (or other Certificate subjects), enroll in the certificate. If you wish to study these subjects as well as Diploma subjects, enroll in the Diploma.

If you are not sure which award you wish to enrol in, please contact us.

Which award do you intend to study? *

Ministry Supervision:

All students need to be actively involved in Christian ministry in order to complete the requirements of the Certificate program. All students need to have a ministry supervisor who will partner with the course providers in training you for Christian service. Supervisors are usually local church ministers who are trained and experienced in ministry. Please contact the Registrar of your nominated Home Institution if it will be difficult for you to find appropriate supervision.
Note: In this application form, you will be asked for the contact details of the senior minister of the church you regularly attend.

Note for International Students:

Prospective international students must be aware that acceptance for online study does not automatically qualify them for face to face study at either Youthworks College or the Presbyterian Theological Centre. International students applying for residential study in Australia must apply separately to YWC, PTC or other ACT affiliated colleges.

International applicants must comply with the following requirements:

  1. At least one referee must be known personally by at least one of the partner institutions. This would generally be an Australian missionary or Christian expatriate worker resident in your country or a current Australian resident.
  2. Tuition fees must be paid in full before the start of any teaching period and before any learning resources (including registration in online classroom) are sent out.
  3. Applicants whose first language is not English are required to sit an examination administered by the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) achieving a level of 6.5 or better in each category of IELTS or achieving a score of 213 or better in the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).
