Diploma for Graduates in Biblical Studies

The University of Otago

Biblical Studies looks in detail at the biblical writings in their ancient contexts and considers how they should be interpreted.Biblical Studies papers are divided between Old Testament (Tanakh or Hebrew Bible) and New Testament.You can also study the biblical languages (Classical Hebrew and New Testament Greek) to an advanced level.The Diploma for Graduates (DipGrad) can be used for many purposes, and in some cases, effectively provides an additional major. It requires you to do at least seven papers, of which at least four are at 300-level or above. The programme is designed for graduates and may be completed by full-time candidates in one year or by part-time candidates over more than one year.A DipGrad is a great way to retrain or to update existing qualifications. Many students also find it a convenient way to continue learning and that it is a useful bridge to postgraduate study.
