Christian Spirituality Modules
Scholars and practitioners from across the Christian churches and beyond come together in open and respectful conversation in an open and inclusive environment.
Life is busy! We understand the need to juggle. Sarum offers flexible programmes that blend onsite and online learning so you don’t have to quit your job, move or abandon your friends and family while you to allow you study.

Why Choose Sarum College for Postgraduate Study?
- Our programmes and modules are forward thinking and diverse. We have modules such as Embodied Encounters with the Divine and Erotic Desires: Gender, Sexuality and Spirituality which explore contemporary issues into the study of theology. View the full list of Christian Spirituality modules.
- We build study skills support into our programmes, so there are lots of opportunities to develop your research and writing skills throughout your time with us. We incorporate study skills sessions into modules and tutors are available for 1-to-1 tutorials at your convenience.
- Alongside the faculty at Sarum (all active researchers), guest lecturers who are experts and active researchers on the topics they teach are drawn in for each module. So, the teaching is always research-led and students benefit from a wide range of lecturers during your time with us.
- The programmes are flexible and can be slowed down or sped up to suit you. You can take an interruption if you need one. Teaching schedules are designed to fit around working life or other commitments, so you can take up further study without having to give up your job or other life commitments.
- The schedule of intensive teaching weeks up to three times a year combined with both remote and online learning support means you get a lot of face to face teaching with no need to relocate or abandon your friends and family.
