  Students who wish to proceed to further study upon completion of the Graduate Certificate are eligible to enter the Master of Arts (Theology) course. If they do not wish to proceed to the full Master's degree (8 units), it is possible to exit from the Master's course with a Graduate Diploma in Arts (Theology) after completing four units from this degree.
