COURSE DESCRIPTION

Learning and being mentored by experts means you will be able to apply a body of knowledge from a range of electives in a range of contexts to undertake advanced professional or ministry positions.
This course is a nested award in the Master of Arts, meaning the GDA can be a destination course or exit point, thus allowing flexibility for students who may wish to start with a short postgraduate course before committing to a Master of Arts or for students who need to exit the Master of Arts earlier than intended.
