Overview
Perth Bible College began in 1928 when Reverend Carment Urquhart established what was originally called Perth Bible Institute. Based in Karrinyup, Perth, the college prepares students for Christian ministry and counselling through gospel-centred biblical and theological education. Its approach combines foundational knowledge, practical skills and holistic development within a Christian community.
PBC offers certificates, diplomas, bachelor's degrees and postgraduate awards, with selected programs delivered through its membership of Australian University College of Divinity. Its campus includes equipped lecture rooms, a seminar room, the Urquhart Library, a dining hall and chapel, recreational spaces and limited self-contained student accommodation.
