Postgraduate Diploma of Professional Practice

The programme seeks to develop dispositions, advanced level knowledge and skills to engage in research-informed professional practice which is understood as an expression of a call of the biblical narrative. Students will develop further the capacity to engage in scholarship that is informed by faith, inspired by hope and motivated by love, to undertake supervised independent research, to honour ethical principles central to human flourishing, and to contribute as leaders to the wider professional community.
