Each unit description includes a list of any required prerequisites. A unit cannot be undertaken for the degree unless the prerequisites (or their equivalent) have been fulfilled or unless approval has been received from the lecturer and the Academic Dean or Associate Dean (Postgraduate and Research) for the prerequisite to be waived.

Where a prerequisite requires a “level” of study, a student must have completed two semester units at the nominated level. For example, “one level of Biblical Studies” means two semester units of Biblical Studies at first level.
