During 2005 Carey Baptist College and Laidlaw College (formally The Bible College of New Zealand) agreed to establish the joint Tyndale-Carey Graduate School. From January 2006, Masters and Doctoral level programmes accredited through NZQA and Australian College of Theology will be administered by the new Tyndale-Carey Graduate School. In 2008 after The Bible College of New Zealand changed its name to Laidlaw College, Tyndale-Carey became the Laidlaw-Carey Graduate School.
The Laidlaw-Carey Graduate School aims to provide graduates with the opportunity to deepen their understanding of the faith and enhance their competencies, as well as to enable people from a range of vocations to think through at postgraduate level the application of their faith to the particular roles to which God is calling them.
The School is developing a postgraduate enterprise that is both flexible enough to respond to a variety of needs and focused enough to provide credible and coherent qualifications. Across the range of qualifications there are a variety of levels taught, a variety of disciplines and a variety in proportion between taught and research components. All programmes contain a mix of offerings to enable students to deepen their knowledge and competencies in particular areas of interest.
Further details are available from the Laidlaw-Carey Graduate School website, in the Laidlaw-Carey Graduate School Handbook or from the Dean of the school ph 09 836 7800.
