Course summary
This flexible MA degree is designed especially for professionals seeking to study part-time and in the evenings, with a new cohort beginning in January 2026. Delivered online and requiring availability just one evening per week, the programme allows students to explore a broad range of theological disciplines such as systematic theology, church history, biblical studies, and practical and pastoral theology, completing their studies in as little as two years. Rather than specialising in a single area, students will have the opportunity to engage with 1–2 units from each discipline, providing a well-rounded theological education. This pathway is ideal for those working full-time in professional contexts, and offers a strong foundation for further academic research or vocational development.
