Areas of Study: Pastoral Studies

Pastoral Studies is concerned with applying theological studies to teaching and ministry, and is particularly suited for students who are involved in or preparing for pastoral ministry. Dedicated units assist students to reflect on the psychological and anthropological aspects of ministry. Students can also apply for credit towards their studies for supervised pastoral practice in approved units of Clinical Pastoral Education.
