Part time study allows you to remain more rooted in your current church, communities, or jobs, and also enables many students to help fund their studies by continuing to work.
For churches, it means they can enable men and women to access training while continuing to benefit from their ministry and mentoring them within the church.
It depends on the course as to how it works.
Our Foundation Award is taught online and can be accessed at times which suit you. Our MA in Contemporary Christian leadership has intensive learning weeks and online seminars.
For our Undergraduate programmes, part time study is available on Mondays and Tuesdays for the first 4 years (CertHE and DipHE). At BA (Hons) level, the days of the week that students need to come into College will be determined by their module choices.
For postgraduate students, we endeavour to run the compulsory module all on one day of the week, but this may not always be possible due to timetable constraints. Their choice of option modules will determine when they need to be in College.
Many part time students will find they need time for writing and reading that goes beyond the two days of lectures. The amount of time will vary during the rhythm of each semester and academic year, as well as being specific to each student’s own situation.
Oak Hill offers dedicated academic, administrative, and pastoral support to help you thrive during your studies.
The major locus of pastoral care for part time students is their local church (in which they are often working) and they are not placed in a Fellowship Group. However, there is a member of faculty who is a point of contact especially for part time students, who can also speak to the Senior Registrar for queries about programme structure or academic progress.
