Duration 
Commencing Develop deeper knowledge and skills in writing, speaking, and engaging today’s culture, as well as relating a biblical worldview to your work.
Humans are rational creatures; we were created to reason about what, how and why things are. The ability to reason well is a crucial skill in any realm, but especially for education, faith, relationships and work. Socrates argued that the unexamined life is not worth living. The Millis Institute seeks to help university graduates and professionals in Australia pursue the examined life in their institutions, organisations, communities and careers.
Knowing goes far beyond merely possessing information. From a Christian worldview perspective, it is a more relational, holistic venture, involving different human dimensions and capacities. The ability to see the world from these various angles – that is, to deepen lateral thinking and integrate modes of reasoning – would benefit professionals in many fields. Acquiring these skills would be especially attractive to teachers desiring to expand and deepen ways of knowing in their classrooms.

Course Structure
Graduate Diploma of Liberal Arts (MI32)
The Graduate Certificate in the Liberal Arts and the Graduate Diploma in the Liberal Arts are comprised of units that are delivered either by internal, online, or intensive mode. Students are to prepare for all sessions by completing prior reading of the set texts. This is based on an approach that aims to provoke students’ own reflection on primary texts. Emphasis is placed on discussion-based learning that allows students to ask questions directly to faculty, and faculty to challenge students with questions about their readings. This conversational pedagogy also expects students to learn from each other as they listen, share and respond to each other’s ideas. Constructive contribution to discussion is very important for this kind of Socratic-style learning; therefore, students must attend at least 80% of class sessions for a unit in order to be considered for a passing grade in that unit.
In planning their courses, students must consult the relevant Courses Handbook for information regarding course rules and requirements, including unit prerequisite requirements.
