Accreditation and Memberships
SMBC and the Australian University of Theology (AUT)
The Australian University of Theology (AUT) is authorised as a Higher Education Provider by Department of Education Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR).
Sydney Missionary and Bible College is an affiliated college of the Australian University of Theology (AUT).
The AUT is not a ‘College’ as such which offers lectures. The AUT is best understood as a body that provides SMBC with the necessary minimum subject matter and content required to be taught and examined for any particular AUT programme, for example, the Master of Divinity, Bachelor of Theology or Diploma of Theology.
In line with our graduate attributes, all SMBC full-time students studying an AUT award concurrently study an SMBC internal award called the Certificate in Bible and Ministry. The aim of this certificate is to complement the degree or diploma level units with additional biblical and applied ministry/mission subjects and skills, especially encouraging Christian spiritual growth and reflection.
As a result, when you graduate as a full-time student from SMBC, you will graduate with an AUT award and an SMBC Certificate award.
Examples of AUT courses include the Diploma of Theology, Bachelor of Theology, Master of Divinity, Graduate Diploma of Divinity and the Master of Theological Studies.
