It offers undergraduate and post-graduate programs in biblical studies, pastoral studies, theology and related fields.
The school has a Chinese department, known as MST Chinese, in which undergraduate and graduate courses are taught in both Mandarin and Cantonese which also has a postgraduate research section known as MST Centre for the Study of Chinese Christianity.
In 2011 the main (Wantirna) campus relocated from the suburb of Lilydale in the outer eastern suburbs of Melbourne to its present location. The Chinese department, which used to operate in Box Hill, also relocated to the new campus and was renamed MST Chinese.
