Pilgrim Online

Pilgrim Online offers a flexible, ecumenical, world-class standard of theological distance education for students online. You can gain tertiary qualifications wherever you live.

Our online programs are best described as accompanied distance learning, because they put students in constant touch with their teachers and peers.

What makes us different from most other theological institutions is that teachers and students from many traditions, cultures and countries are found in the same online classes.

All online theology courses are taught through the College and awarded by the University of Divinity. A number of the online units are taught by Whitley College and Saint Athanasius Coptic Orthodox Theological College.

Why study Pilgrim Online

Students undertake courses in Pilgrim Online for a wide range of reasons.

Some aspire to seek ordination in their denomination; others are looking to understand their faith more as they serve the church through lay ministry; others again are not necessarily members of any church or faith centre and simply wish to study theology for their own interests.
