Course summary

At the core of our PG Diploma lies the desire to integrate theology and ministry in a way that enriches both. This integration is the hallmark of all our modules, and is exemplified in our programme’s core module, Theological and Practical Reflection on Mission & Ministry. Here students explore Practical Theology, an approach to theology that seeks to take practice and experience seriously, both as a context for the development of new insight and faithful response in light of Scripture and tradition, and as a source of new questions to bring to Scripture and tradition. This approach engages the whole range of theological sub-disciplines and can sometimes also be interdisciplinary in its engagement of social scientific or other academic disciplines. Above all, it reflects a desire to live faithfully in the light of rigorous and prayerful thinking. Course Structure You will gain the Postgraduate Diploma in Theology and Ministry by completing four taught modules (120 credits), one of which must be the core module. The following modules are validated for the MATM but, as modules are usually taught on a bi-annual basis, we cannot guarantee the running of certain modules during a course of study.
