Study with us

Certificate, Diploma, Bachelor to Postgraduate courses available

At Eastern we keep the ‘why’ of study in view. We’re intentional about preparing you to be curious, thoughtful and compassionate as well as professional, grounded and highly skilled. But we’re also interested in the ‘how’. For us, the journey is as important as the endpoint.

You probably have questions: How will study work for you? How will it all fit into your schedule? What are the costs? Are there options? And (perhaps most importantly) when you’re on campus, where will you park?

Flexible Study Options

On Campus

Join our on-campus classes and enjoy the added benefits of conversation, community and coffee. Eastern main campus includes our extensive library and student space, co-located with Melbourne School of Theology at 5 Burwood Highway, Wantirna. And yes, there’s free parking onsite.

Some courses and VET training may be delivered at other centres in Victoria and globally. See here for a full list.

SIL Australia, Wurundjeri Country, 70 Graham Road, Kangaroo Ground

Online

Prepare for a brain-stretching few days when you enrol in units that are delivered as intensives. You’ll work hard, but the benefits include completing the whole unit in a short time, and the camaraderie that comes with working hard together in a short period.

Integrate your Faith & Career

At Eastern, we’re convinced of the truth and wisdom of the Christian faith and the Bible. We love to see the principles of justice, righteousness and compassion at work in the world. And we are passionate about equipping our students not only to better understand their faith, but to engage with it in their vocation and in the marketplace.

In many of our courses, you’ll be challenged by these foundational units of Christian thought and faith.

Introduction To The Bible
Living In Christ
Faith, Reason And Justice
Foundations For Faith
Literature And Worldview
Integration Of Vocation And Faith

Community

Our community is made up of people from many backgrounds, of all ages, and from all walks of life. You’ll mix with inspiring leaders, passionate practitioners and people with the same heart. The friends you make at Eastern may be the ones who stay with you for the rest of your life.

Eastern’s small, tight-knit classes allows for strong rapport between students and faculty, and encourages a safe and collaborative environment for discovery and learning.

electives

Our relationship with Melbourne School of Theology allows us to make the most of their extensive selection of electives.

You may be able to choose units in theology, biblical studies, leadership, spiritual formation, pastoral care, and cross cultural mission to count as cross-institutional studies in your Eastern course.

Casual study

We get excited when we meet life-long learners. If you love the challenge of learning and growth but you’re not in a position to commit to a full course, there are plenty of options. Enrol in an individual unit, audit a subject or take part in an intensive.
