St Padarn’s ~ MA Specialism in Children, Young People & Families

The delivery method for this pathway concentrates all teaching into three intensive blocks (Monday to Wednesday) a year for two years.  It has been designed specifically to meet the needs of those working with families, young people and children.  In the standard programme, students will study three modules a year for two years, followed by a year of dissertation writing.  Residentials take place at our site in Cardiff, where there is purpose built modern ensuite accommodation, catering, teaching rooms, common room and chapel.  The latest Periodic External Review undertaken by the Church of England concluded, “St Padarn’s MA specialism in children, young people and families is probably the best such programmes in the UK – arguably as good as any in the world.”  Our teaching team include Lisa Lyall (Glo!), George Lings (former Director of Research - Church Army), Lucy Moore (Growing Faith), Yvonne Morris (Oxford Diocese), Rick Otto (New Wine/Diocese of Manchester), Gary Smith (Message Trust), Rachel Turner (previous director of Parenting for Faith), Mark Griffiths (St Padarns), Chloe Richards (Alpha and Evangelical Alliance)
