Requirements for Anglican ordinands

In addition to all elements of the MA set out above, you will complete a suite of placements and will also study a selection of modules at Levels 4 and 5 to provide specific Anglican training (as approved by the Church of England). This will normally comprise MP1.7, BM2.1, MP2.3, MP2.7 and may include MP2.8:

Ordinands will also take 40 credits of additional modules to take the total number of credits over two years to 240. These may be at any level of study (from Level 4 to Level 7).  The selection of these modules will be discussed and agreed as part of the admissions process.

Please note

Elective modules are offered subject to viability (based on class size) and the College reserves the right to withdraw an elective module if there is insufficient interest; not all elective modules are offered every year.
