General Requirements for Assignments - Bible/Theology and Counselling/Chaplaincy

This guide outlines the College’s expectations for written assessments in Theology, Counselling, and Chaplaincy and Spiritual Care.

Facilitating Transformative Education

One of Morling’s core values is that education is transformative. At Morling, we want you to experience life-changing and high-quality education that empowers you to pursue passionate Christian discipleship. This education integrates academic study, practical training, and spiritual formation in a balanced and holistic way.

We are committed to:

  • Advancing knowledge and understanding through dedicated involvement in scholarly activities, guided by ethical research practices and academic integrity.
  • Improving society through excellence in skills, knowledge, and research, as well as through pastoral care, spiritual formation, education, and counselling.
  • Enabling individuals to grow and learn throughout their lives by fostering personal and character formation and promoting lifelong learning.
  • Providing quality education and professional formation that aligns with the needs and expectations of our churches, denominational partners, businesses, community organisations, and government stakeholders.
  • Ensuring equitable access to, and opportunities for, success in higher education, professional development, and academic contribution.
  • Equipping people to work in all spheres of society and enhancing community wellbeing by contributing to a democratic, equitable, and flourishing society.

To support these commitments, the College employs a variety of assessments. Assessments serve both to facilitate learning and to evaluate progress. These assessments typically take the form of written assignments, including essays, reflections, critical reviews, and research papers.
