Postgraduate Certificate/Diploma and Master of Arts in Theology, Ministry and Mission
For students who have sufficient theological learning (not necessarily by degree studies) we offer a Postgraduate Certificate, Diploma and an MA in Theology, Ministry and Mission, validated by Durham University as part of the Church of England’s Common Awards programme.
We teach theology, ministry and mission as an applied course, enabling you to make connections between your advanced study of theology and your ministry experience. All postgraduate studies contain research modules, providing students with the opportunity to look more deeply at an area of interest.
Modules are delivered partly at residential weekends and partly through evening classes: Evening classes will normally be held online as our students are spread out throughout our region (including continental Europe). The classes are enhanced by internet-based resources and a common Virtual Learning Environment especially adapted for ERMC.
At the residential weekends you will study subjects such a ministry and worship, reflective practice, and ministry and mission. You will also train in your local context with a supervisor.
First rate library facilities are available in Cambridge, where our students have access to the libraries of the Cambridge Theological Federation. Students can also access the libraries of Norwich Cathedral and the St Alban’s Cathedral Study Centre. All students can make use of our extensive online resources.
The MA is available for ordinands on part-time and full-time pathways. You can find a sample course outline for a part-time MA for ordinands here. For independent students we recommend that you study this course part-time. For all postgraduate study options please contact us.
