One of the few confessional Christian colleges located on the campus of its validating University. With our validating University having campuses across Scotland (and London), even our online students may be able to access the University’s amenities such as the gym, student support services, and the Student Union. The best of both worlds – a faith-based learning environment alongside the benefits of a University campus experience.
The course is aimed at anyone who has a passion for serving God in either youth ministry or through community ministry. There is an emphasis on ministry beyond the church building engaging with young people or people in the wider community through the values of Community Learning and Development (CLD). The degree programme combines all the foundational elements of a theology degree for pastoral ministry alongside specialisms in youth and community ministry, public theology, and placement-based theological reflection.
This module is a specialist unit covering religious observance in schools across Scotland (called Time for Reflection). Working with the Scottish curriculum, the module equips practitioners to share Christian values through religious observance in schools. The module combines theory with reflection upon practice to develop skills and understanding for the Scottish school context. The module can be taken as a standalone module or as part of a wider degree course of study.
