Admissions (new students)

All enrolments must be approved by the Coursework Coordinator or Research Coordinator as appropriate. The Coursework Coordinator is the Dean, John Capper, and the Research Coordinator is Meg Warner.

New students should normally make an appointment with the Dean for course advice and approval, and to ensure they are in the award or unit which is right for them. Coursework students can apply for admission in either first or second semester each year. Applications for a research higher degree may be made at any time of the year.

If you know which award you wish to take, download a copy of the relevant enrolment form from the MCD University of Divinity website (Coursework or Research) and fill in the sections requiring your personal information prior to your appointment. Please also see our Advice for new students.

Students are welcome to take units at the MCD's other Recognised Teaching Institutions towards their degree or diploma, particularly if the desired units are not available at the UFT. Enrolment for such admission and payment of fees must be made through the UFT office, in addition to fulfilling the requirements of the RTI concerned.

The UFT reserves the right to cancel or vary unit offerings. Every effort will be made to notify students of such cancellations a week before classes commence, and to indicate alternative units that may fulfil student needs should this occur.

The administration at the MCD and the UFT offices take your right to privacy seriously and only use information you provide for the purpose for which it was given.
