Throughout the year a selection of undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate-level units are offered in intensive or extensive blocks across the semester. These units are particularly suited to those who live in a rural or interstate location, have a full-time job, or as professional development for clergy.

Please note that Ridley aims to keep classes at a size that best suits the type of student interaction required for the unit.
All units are subject to minimum enrolment numbers and may be varied or cancelled if insufficient or greater than expected enrolments are received. Ridley will make every effort to give students the maximum notice of any cancellations or variations that occur.
As an affiliated college of the Australian College of Theology, Ridley College is approved to deliver the following courses of the ACT (CRICOS 02650E).
Study Modes
Students attend classes in person, at the Parkville campus. Students meet face-to-face with their teaching staff and classmates, usually on a weekly basis throughout the semester. Unit resources and assessment tasks are available through the My Ridley learning site.
All learning materials are delivered asynchronously via the My Ridley learning site. Unit content is usually released progressively. Some online units include assessable online discussion forums. Students are not required to attend any classes on campus, nor live online tutorials, though optional virtual sessions may be available in some units.
Hybrid units are offered in two modes simultaneously. This allows students to choose their mode of attendance (e.g. some students attend in person on campus, others attend virtually). Hybrid units may be offered as a regular weekly class, or in intensive/extensive mode.
Blended units are generally offered in extensive mode where students engage in two modes of delivery at different times (e.g. students gather on-campus for in-person classes for a block of time and virtually for subsequent content delivery.)
In-context units provide students with an opportunity to visit a biblical and/or historically significant location. Ridley currently offers three in-context units on a rotational basis which include travel to Israel, Türkiye /Greece, and Germany, France and Switzerland. Students integrate geographical, historical and cultural perspectives from these locations and sites into their Christian understanding and practice.
Practicum units help students apply, under supervision, what they are learning in class/online to real ministry situations. These units require a placement in a ministry context and supervision by an approved supervisor and include Field Education and Professional Pastoral Supervision units. Students must have a recent police check and a current Working with Children Check or state-based equivalent and to have added Ridley College as a reporting body.
Units taught in flipped classroom mode refer to units which have significant pre-reading and videos to watch ahead of their classroom contact hours. As a result of this preparatory work, classroom contact hours are reduced.
