Most of our students are sponsored by one of our partner Churches and preparing for lay or ordained ministries. Others join us as independent students for many different reasons, be it to learn about the Christian faith in greater depth and at an academic level, to prepare for ministry in Churches with whom we do not have a formal relationship or as in-service-training for serving ministers. Because the Common Awards programme is modular, it may be possible to study with us as an Independent Student to build on previous Common Awards completion in order to work towards a higher academic award. 

ERMC welcomes applications from independent students for the following courses:

You can study online through our online classroom or attend one of our centres in Cambridge, Norwich or St Albans. Independent students do not attend the residential weekends, which focus on formational issues for Church sponsored students.

Apart from the residential modules, postgraduate classes are normally held online.
