Centre for Distance Learning (CDL)

Applications are now open for study in 2013 - early application deadline is on 30 November 2012 and final application deadline is on 31 January 2013.

The Centre for Distance Learning (CDL) is an integrated part of teaching and learning at Laidlaw College. CDL courses bring together a blend of multimedia, virtual classrooms, online tutoring, and up-to-date scholarship.

The flexibility of distance learning allows you to fit your studies around your other life commitments. You can study just one course at a time, or take as many courses as you can manage up to a full time load. Our courses are designed to enable you to study where you find it most convenient – at the library, in your room, on the sofa. This is lifestyle learning at its best!

The following programmes are available by distance learning:

• Diploma of Biblical Studies
• Bachelor of Theology
• Bachelor of Ministries
• Graduate Diploma in Theology

All the information you need about how distance learning works at Laidlaw College, and which courses are available by distance learning can be found in the CDL Prospectus.
