You can read here about the Flexible Learning modules on offer in the Summer Session 2021.
Flexible Learning modules are a great chance to be built up in your faith, equipped for ministry, or to dip a toe in theological education, whatever your situation; whether you're at home, working, involved in church or community work, in the UK or beyond.
The Summer Intensive modules are available to be taken either in person at College or live via Zoom, and for either audit (listening in) or credit (participating and completing assessments).
During our Summer Session the following selection of modules are being taught in an intensive way over the two week period, with teaching every weekday.
The teaching period is taking place 5-16 July 2021 and is preceded by time for preparatory reading (optional for those auditing), and followed by time when those crediting complete their assessments.

Assessment period (creditors only)
Flexible Learners may take one module, for audit or credit, during the Summer Session. In total across the year 2020/21, you can take up to a maximum of two modules across the two semesters, totalling a maximum of 40 credits; plus one module in the Summer Session.
Yes, all Flexible Learners are given an Oak Hill email account which enables you to have access to the College’s Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). This will give you access to further information you need to know, as well as the VLE site for your chosen module.
The module VLE site is where you will find the learning materials for the module, and, closer to the start of the module, the Zoom link if you are taking the module via Zoom.
You will also receive via your Oak Hill email account communication from the module tutor, other College communication including the invoice for your module, and for those crediting your provisional and confirmed results. You will be expected to check this account regularly.
Your email account and access to the VLE will be closed after the module ends. For those auditing, it will be at the end of July; for those crediting it will be mid-February 2022 after you've received your official results following the January 2022 Assessment Board. You will be notified of the exact date in advance.
Your invoice will be issued on Tuesday 6 July to your Oak Hill email address, plus any other email address you have specified to us. If you decide to withdraw from the module after the end of the first day of teaching, you will be invoiced for the full amount. You will be required to pay within 14 days of the date of invoice.
You may have noticed that our School of Theology this year is running on Tuesday 13 July, which clashes with the teaching for the Summer Intensive modules which Flexible Learners can take.
If you take a Summer Intensive module, unfortunately it will not be possible to miss a day of lectures in order to attend the School of Theology. We are sorry for the disappointment.
I would hugely commend Flexible Learning modules to anyone: church leaders looking to grow yourself, church staff members wanting to make sure you are progressing in your own spiritual walk, but particularly thinking who in your church family would benefit from this?”
