MA in Mission (The World of Work)

MA, Diploma and Certificate (Full- or part-time)

This stream is designed for lay or ordained persons, from all traditions, who are interested in exploring the challenges of mission in the world of work.  If you are looking for a stream that brings an emphasis upon missional understandings and their application in the workplace today, then this is the one for you!  The stream is delivered part-time over two years and can be undertaken at a number of different levels:

There are 2 core units of study for the Mission (The World of Work) stream.  

Mission and the World of Work
Main themes include a study of the origins, development and current situation of the Faith at Work movement, workplace ethics, the theology and practice of mission at work and equipping the church for mission at work.

Mission and the World of Work Literature
Main themes include an exploration of texts from denominations, organisations and individuals considering the issue of mission in the world of work.

This stream can be undertaken part-time at a number of different levels:

  • Postgraduate Certificate in Mission (The World of Work): a two year part-time course incorporating the two units of study.
  • Postgraduate Diploma in Mission (The World of Work): a two year part-time course incorporating the two core units of study and two units of study from across the syllabus.
  • MA in Mission (The World of Work): a two year part-time course incorporating the two units of study AND two units of study from across the syllabus plus a Masters level dissertation of 12 – 15,000 words.

 

 

For part-time students, there are two residential weeks throughout the year, each of which introduce one unit of study. The modules specific to the course are delivered in the November of alternating years. It is expected that part-time students will work on average 15 hours a week for 30 weeks in each year, in addition to researching a dissertation if required. Full-time students will complete all the units relevant to their course in a year (up to four for MA level), and have until the following March to submit a dissertation if required.


If you are looking for a course that will go wide in its grasp of the subject, deep into some key themes, and will prepare you for the challenges of our day, then this is the course for you!
