Q: There are many Bible Colleges in Australia. What are the significant features of Sydney Missionary and Bible College (SMBC)?

A: The Sydney Missionary and Bible College is the oldest continually operating Inter-denominational Bible College in Australia. We offer a full range of theological academic qualifications combined with a strong focus on cross cultural mission as applicable for those working within Australia and overseas.          We also devote time (over and above the general academic timetable) toward training our students to preach God's word faithfully. As the majority of our students are residential, there is also a strong emphasis on community within the College.

The Bible is central to our curriculum.

Sydney Missionary and Bible College models a Church community rather than a University and as such, our faculty, many of whom live on the college campus, spend much time with students. There is mutual encouragement and  spurring one another on toward a deeper trust and love for God.

Q: Can I be a non-residential full time student?

A: Yes

Q: Can I study part time and gain credit towards a degree?

A: Yes, satisfactory completion of individual degree subjects will be credited towards a degree.

Q: Do you have residential living quarters for married couples?

A: Yes, we do have limited accommodation for married couples. Please contact our General Manager for further details. At times, families and couples requesting accommodation may need to be placed on a waiting list.

Q: I am leaving school and would like to study at SMBC. What do you suggest I do to prepare myself for study at SMBC?

A: Prior to studying at Sydney Missionary and Bible College, we strongly recommend and prefer students to have gained some prior work and/or study experience as well as demonstrated local church involvement.

Q: I can't attend an open day/evening, can I visit the College at other times?

A: Yes, please contact our office staff who will arrange a suitable time.

Q: I want to start studying mid-way through the year? Is this possible?

A: Yes, it is possible to commence part time study mid-way through the year. Commencing full time study mid-way through the year is not usually recommended, however in certain circumstances it is possible. Please contact our office for more information.
