We have five standard ordination training pathways approved by Ministry Division, all taken on a full time basis:
Most ordinands apply for either the DipHE or BA (Hons), depending on how many years' training they are recommended for. Those who already hold a qualification in Theology may be eligible to apply for the MTheol, PGDip or MA:
Please read the relevant programme descriptions for more information.
Any other training pathway would be considered non-standard and would therefore require the agreement of the sponsoring diocese, Ministry Division and Oak Hill.
Please note that our Flexible Learning offering is not a pathway for ordination training.
As my discernment journey towards ordination continues, Oak Hill's focus on character formation has grown my love for Christ in wonderful ways. A wide range of superb guest speakers has been instrumental in preparing me to engage well with issues important to the Church of England today."
