The Diploma in Theology at the University of Pretoria is a qualification in the Faculty of Theology and Religion that provides foundational theological education for students who seek biblical and theological knowledge for ministry, religious service, and community leadership without completing a full degree programme. The diploma covers key areas of theology including biblical studies, church history, systematic theology, and practical ministry, offering a shorter pathway to theological qualification. It is suited to students who are committed to church ministry or faith-based community service and who require a formal theological credential to serve their communities effectively. Graduates may proceed to further theological study at degree level if they wish to deepen their academic formation.
Admission requirements: English (Home or First Additional Language): Level 4 (50-59%); Mathematics or Mathematical Literacy: Level 3 (40-49%); APS: 24 (excluding Life Orientation).
