Atlantic School of Theology for Nepali Students 2027: Fees and Admission

AST publishes the Bachelor of Theology, Master of Divinity, Master of Arts in Theology and Religion, Graduate Certificate in Theological Studies and other continuing or diploma routes. Record the exact award, intake, duration, residency, delivery and denominational or field-education expectations.

Map Nepal secondary and bachelor’s education to the chosen level. Graduate applicants need the stated prior degree, grades, references, writing and ministry or community experience. A diploma, special-student course and accredited degree have different outcomes.

AST is ecumenical and prepares students for theological scholarship, ministry and related service. Explain specific faculty, curriculum, formation and research fit and a realistic intended use; do not present theology study merely as a lower-cost route to Canada.

Apply through AST’s official international route and use the application form for the exact BTh, MDiv, MA or graduate certificate. The reviewed application fee for those degree routes is CAD 90, while diploma and special-student fees differ.

Meet the current English-language standard for the exact program, including accepted tests, overall and component scores and validity. An online or hybrid option does not remove academic English or immigration requirements for any Canadian study period.

Arrange official Nepal secondary and post-secondary transcripts, certified translations, passport-consistent identity, references, statement, writing sample and denominational or ministry evidence where required. Complete every offer condition before relying on the admission decision.

AST’s 2026–2027 table lists international undergraduate and graduate tuition of CAD 1,899 per one-credit course. It describes an international tuition waiver bursary of CAD 400 per eligible credit, reducing the current tuition to CAD 1,499 when the student and course qualify.

The reviewed bursary page covers eligible degree students in BTh, GCTS, MA and MDiv routes, not every diploma or special-student registration. Add CAD 30 miscellaneous fees per credit, CAD 150 student-information-systems fee per term for degree students and other program charges.

AST publishes 2026–2027 residence rates beginning at CAD 980 monthly for a standard single room, subject to availability and terms. Add food, books, transport, insurance, winter clothing, airfare from Nepal, permit costs and an emergency reserve.

IRCC lists Atlantic School of Theology as public DLI O19391556837 in Halifax with graduate-program and PGWP indicators of Yes. These indicators support further review but do not guarantee that a particular diploma, distance arrangement or student qualifies.

Match the exact degree, Halifax residency, duration and delivery and review current language, field-of-study, full-time and study-history requirements. Save dated evidence, especially when the program combines online study from home with a short Canadian summer term.

Prepare the genuine LOA, PAL exemption or requirement as applicable to the exact public graduate degree, sufficient current funds and a truthful theology purpose. MKS Education can organise evidence, but AST, IRCC and ministry bodies independently decide outcomes.

When a policy changes, compare the new instruction with the student’s application date, credential, institution, campus and personal status before deciding what applies. Do not silently replace an old document or reinterpret a rule from a headline. If the effect is uncertain, pause payment or submission and obtain clarification from the responsible authority or a properly authorised professional.

This evidence trail also improves counselling quality. The student and family can see which facts are confirmed, which are estimates and which remain conditional. MKS Education uses this approach to support transparent education planning while leaving admission and immigration decisions with the relevant institutions and Canadian authorities.
