04.3 Course Structure
The objective of the DBT is best achieved through an integrated course design that aims for competence across the three related fields of Biblical Studies, Christian Theology and Christian Ministry. This has been achieved by establishing core units. The DBT consists of 8 units of study. There are 3 core units and 5 elective units. Each unit is four credit points.
Students are required to pass at least one elective unit from the three fields (BS, CM, CT) in order to gain their diploma.
