Courses available in spring and summer 2024

Learn online

Christian Spirituality and Issues Facing the Church Today are majority-online courses that will equip you for mission and ministry in your local church and community. You'll be studying alongside other students, with some live lectures and other learning that you can do at a time and in a place that suits you. The assessments for these courses are designed to help you see how to practically apply your learning in your own context. Both courses start on 29 April and last ten weeks, followed by another five weeks to prepare and submit your assessment. They cost £360 each, and there are bursaries available for Methodist students.
