Meini prawf derbyn
Our Theology programme is suitable for graduates in Theology and/or Religious Studies. Though primarily aimed at people engaged in Christian Ministry (in its widest understanding), laity or ordained ministers of religion alike, members of some other professional groups – e.g. nursing, medicine – will find it equally valuable.
Applicants should normally possess or expect to obtain a First or Upper Second class UK Honours degree, or equivalent. However, significant experience of ministry can also be taken into account.
We welcome applications year-round but to commence your studies in any given year (starting September), you must submit your application by 1 August.
