ACOM is a friendly, dynamic and stimulating place to study. Our postgraduate programmes are career-oriented, developing specialist skills in key areas and drawing on international research and ministry expertise and resources.
ACOM's Graduate School is composed of a team of highly-skilled academics and administrative staff who work together closely to enhance students' educational experience and pastoral care, establishing ACOM as one of Australia's premier postgraduate institutions in Christian Leadership education.
Postgraduate students with ACOM are enrolled in programs provided by the Sydney College of Divinity,whose courses we teach.
