Cliff Year
Are you aged 18–25 and wondering what’s next? Do you want to explore God’s calling in your life while growing in confidence as a disciple?
The Cliff Year at Cliff College is designed to help you invest intentionally in your faith, deepen your discipleship and discover new ways to serve. Alongside teaching and community life, you’ll gain hands-on experience sharing your faith and making a real impact in local churches and communities.
Running from 5 September 2026 to 4 June 2027, this nine-month programme offers a life-shaping opportunity to grow, serve and step into your future with confidence.
The Cliff Year has grounded me in my faith and given me confidence in the things I believe. I’d recommend the Cliff Year to anyone who wants to grow in their relationship with God and have opportunities to serve in different ways in local churches.

CertHE Theology and Mission
Take the first step into theological study with the Certificate of Higher Education in Theology and Mission — the opening year of a full degree programme, and a standalone foundation in Christian faith, life and practice.
This Certificate provides a strong grounding in Bible, theology and mission, while offering the flexibility to tailor your learning through optional units such as pastoral practice, pioneering practice, Christian leadership and children, youth and family ministry.
Designed to be both academically rigorous and deeply practical, the CertHE equips you with critical tools to handle Scripture, the Christian tradition and life in the world today. Through a mission and evangelism placement, you’ll engage with real-world contexts and reflect on impactful practice.
The Certificate is offered in dual delivery mode, giving you the flexibility to study either onsite or online, full-time in one year, or part-time over two.
Studying at Cliff College has been an amazing way for me to dig deeper into my faith. It’s enabled me to learn more about the Christian faith.

PGCert Theology and Mission
Looking to sharpen your theological discernment in contexts of mission, ministry and leadership? The Postgraduate Certificate in Theology and Mission is designed to build on your existing knowledge of scripture and theology and enhance you ongoing formation and professional development.
Comprising three focused units — Missional Theology, Missional Theology in Practice and an option of your choice — this Postgraduate certificate will help you identify and interpret God’s mission in your context and grow in confidence in your calling. The optional unit allows you to shape the Certificate around your interests and needs.
Balancing academic depth with practical application, the PGCert is ideal for you if you are looking to develop your mission, leadership and professional practice.
The PGCert is offered in dual delivery mode, giving you the flexibility to study either onsite or online, with three teaching weeks over the year and weekly online seminars.

I am grateful for the opportunity to learn in an environment as deeply committed to mission and discipleship as it is to academic rigour.
