BA IN THEOLOGY AND MINISTRY WITH COUNSELLING
Christ the Redeemer’s undergraduate programmes combine academic study and practice. The BA in Theology and Ministry with Counselling programme prepares students for future leadership and ministry roles (in church or community based settings) through developing their knowledge and understanding of Christian theology and enabling them to apply that knowledge in a professional / ministry context.
Upon successful completion of the programme, students will have developed a portfolio of experiences, learning and skills, and have extended their capacity as leaders and competency in the professional practice linked to their chosen study pathway. They are also able to communicate effectively in a range of written and presentation forms, reflecting critically on their own ministry practice and that of others, and having the ability to think and work independently.
This will also seeks to develop their capacity for leadership and for working collaboratively and to have acquired the academic skills necessary for successful completion of the programme at level 6 and for future postgraduate study. The programme is validated by Newman University.
We also offer a foundation year. This is a one-year programme that will ensure you have the foundational skills needed to undertake one of our BA programmes. This programme is particularly suitable for applicants without A-Level qualifications. As part of the admissions process, we will work with you to decide which programme you should start with.
This programme will also cover theology, biblical studies, leadership, mission and contemporary culture, as well as academic skills such as communication and critical thinking required of higher education in the UK.
