Study with us

Many students study this way. Here are some of the reasons why:

• Breadth and depth - the sustained focus means you will be able to cover more and in greater depth, with fewer distractions. 
• Community - get to know people really well and make good friends, doing life and learning together
• An oasis for spouses and families - spouses share in the opportunities to prepare for the future with you; the 60-acre site is a brilliant place for children to grow up
• Space and time - space to pause, think, reflect, including on the context from which you’ve come, so you are better able to adapt to any context you go to
• Integrated programme - the different modules interlock together, so you can make connections across modules
• Benefits of London - easy access to all that a vibrant global city like London provides
• Placements and local churches - there’s the chance to embed learning by serving in all kinds of different local churches and contexts 
• Engage with your teachers outside of the classroom - on the same campus as faculty, living together as a learning community
• Biblical languages - for those of you who want to learn Biblical languages, there’s a unique opportunity to do so

Many are already serving in a pastoral ministry context and for personal reasons would find it hard to move. Here are some of the reasons why some study part-time:

• Able to stay where you are, ‘in-context’
• Able to study in parallel with your existing ministry
• Enjoy the benefits of the high-quality teaching and broad, integrated programme
• Enjoy some of the benefits of being part of an existing residential learning community

Some are in paid employment and have church-based ministry roles for which they would really value some training. Here are some reasons why part-time bi-vocational training could work: 

• Able to study in parallel with your existing employment, so making the study easier financially
• Able to stay where you are
• Enjoy the benefits of the high-quality teaching and broad, integrated programme
• Enjoy some of the benefits of being part of an existing residential learning community

Some are already in ministry contexts and want to develop in a particular area. Here are some reasons why some access microcredentials: 

• Access to leading experts in a particular field 
• The chance to study flexibly and focus on a particular area or discipline
• High quality, but lower cost (because they are not leading to a formal validated qualification)
