Studying the BA (Hons) Theology and Ministry programme has been an amazing way for me to dig deeper into my faith. It’s enabled me to learn more about the Christian faith which will be useful as I go into ministry and encounter people who have questions, whilst also letting me form my own opinions. The small class sizes allow for meaningful theological discussion.

Studying Theology has opened my mind to many questions and enhanced my understanding of faith and truth. It’s a privilege to be studying in such a beautiful and peaceful part of the world.
Studying the BA (Hons) Theology and Ministry programme is a fantastic way of learning from God both academically and devotionally. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to grow alongside fellow Christians in their understanding of God.

However, it is possible to study on a part-time basis if you live close enough to the College to attend regular lectures. We strive to build a supportive community and students will have opportunities to be involved in the daily life of the College, joining in prayer and worship as well as meals and social activities.
