Sydney Missionary & Bible College (SMBC) is an Affiliated College of the Australian University of Theology, CRICOS: 02650E. We are an international community with approximately 5-10 percent of full-time students coming from various countries around the world.
All overseas students must enrol full-time in an Australian University of Theology (AUT), CRICOS accredited course at either undergraduate or postgraduate level. In addition, you'll also participate in a non-accredited program called Certificate of Bible and Mission (CBM) which is recognised by many churches, mission agencies and parachurch organisations as an excellent distinctive feature of SMBC’s training for ministry.
Full-time study at SMBC is just that – full time. Your week will involve lectures, study time, chapel services, prayer groups, mission teams, conferences and church activities. You’ll be immersed in the College community with excellent access to lecturers and deans to support cultural integration and spiritual/character development.
