Postgraduate
postgraduate Taught programme in mission
The Cliff College MA in Mission programme is among the largest in the British Isles with 110 students. Validated by the University of Manchester, the programme has 11 distinct streams and students are able to follow a particular stream; a stream usually has two required units, an additional two optional units and a dissertation. It is also possible to choose a selection of units, plus a dissertation, and graduate without a designated stream.
It is also possible to take any of these streams as a Postgraduate Certificate (two units) or a Postgraduate Diploma (four units). All units are taught in five-day (Mon–Fri) intensive teaching blocks, enabling students from across the British Isles, Europe and further to follow the MA in Mission programme while remaining in employment.
