Postgraduate Certificate Theology

Our postgraduate programmes offer a broad range of option modules, especially in the areas of doctrine, church history and practical ministry, along with modules which are designed to integrate theological disciplines.

The PGCert is a short (60 credit) course, primarily aimed at theology graduates serving in ministry who are considering further study or are looking for an element of continuing professional development. It is designed as an oasis of theological refreshment that nurtures, stretches, and sharpens your skills for ministry.

PGCert students take two modules: a compulsory module on hermeneutics and epistemology, which is common to all our postgraduate programmes, and one option module, which can be a taught module or an independent research project. It combines an integrative, required module with the flexibility of an elective to strengthen your theological foundations and to create space to explore issues that interest you.    

There are two pathway options for PGCert students, either to take both modules in one year, or one module in each of two years.

As happens every few years, we are currently developing a new suite of programmes and modules which will be validated in 2024 but won't start until September 2025. Oak Hill will of course retain the ethos and focus that have guided us for many years. If you would like more information, please contact the Admissions Office.
