ACCREDITATION OF ACADEMIC QUALIFICATION
SVS will accept only those whose requisite theological degrees are from colleges or seminaries accredited by the Asia Theological Association, or other institutions recognized by ATA. In other cases applicants may be required to take additional Qualifying examinations.
TYPICAL ACADEMIC YEAR
There are two semesters in our academic year.
The ATA-accredited two-year Diploma in Theology is an equivalent of the HSC/+2. Applicants who have completed successfully a two-year programme that has an entrance requirement of successful completion of 10 years of schooling [SSC], but is not ATA-accredited, must appear for and successfully pass a qualifying examination consisting of three papers set at the Final year Dip Th in Biblical Studies, Theology and Christian Ministry. However, such applicants will not be granted any advanced credit toward the B.Th degree.
Mature candidates who do not meet the required entrance qualification, but are at least 25 years of age, will be admitted into the programme on the basis of a qualifying exam set at the 12th standard level [three courses].
