MASTER OF PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE & POSTGRADUATE DIPLOMA OF PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE     

These qualifications are designed to empower, encourage and equip Christ-following professionals whose practice is focused on human well-being or flourishing (e.g., teachers, counsellors, social workers, principals, managers, leaders, etc). As students engage afresh with God’s redemptive plan, implications for their practice and the professional landscape within that practice emerge.

​Learning experiences are structured to scaffold students through the first three papers as they continually mature as scholars and researchers.  Developing as a reflective practitioner and researcher enables the student to better understand their current practice and how it can more strategically and intentionally align with their deepening understanding of the biblical narrative and the idea of the kingdom of God on earth.

what students say about the programme

  • "The readings and assignments have led me on a journey to weave together the biblical narrative of work, vocation and calling and made it very relevant for my professional practice."
  • "The readings were definitely a ‘springboard’ that God used to shape my heart, mind and imagination.  [I] also developed skills such as critical thinking, finding my own voice, writing at postgraduate level."
  • "It helped bring fresh understanding of God’s heart for social justice that I can pass on within the mission with which I work."
  • "I have a much better understanding of my place and purpose in God’s plan."
  • "I have a strengthened awareness of how faith, beliefs and values affect perception/interpretation of ideas as well as influence my professional practice."
  • "The biblical mandate focus has made a huge contribution toward refreshing my perspective and approach to my classroom and the students I serve."
  • "The revelation that research is a powerful tool to influence thinking and highlight areas where social change is needed helps me to consider the opportunities where I can bring change."
  • "It has developed and broadened my understanding of research and the very many contributing factors and aspects of it.  It has made me more interested in undertaking research to further develop my professional practice."
  • "I am more confident to critique and be more outspoken."
  • "It is making me ask questions about my practice; what am I doing more by force-of-habit than a thought-through examination of underlying principles."
  • "One student described their experience as a ‘holistic learning journey’."

POSTGRADUATE DIPLOMA OF PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE

Like the Master of Professional Practice, the Postgraduate Diploma of Professional Practice qualification creates a safe, but challenging space focused on ‘being and becoming’ confident Christ-following professionals whose practice is research-informed. 

​The learning experiences within the programmes equip and enable participants to engage with research and reflective inquiry into their professional practice, in order to improve understanding of that practice and increase its intentionality and strategic alignment with the biblical narrative and the idea of the Kingdom of God on earth. Read more...
