to explore the search for spirituality in church life and in public values
The offer includes postgraduate study and research programmes validated by the University of Winchester, as well as short courses on spirituality for intellectual, professional and personal growth and renewal. Courses and events cover diverse spirituality themes as they relate to art, mysticism, feminism, gender, postmodernism, desire, popular culture, music and the Christian tradition.
‘Sarum courses make me think and leave me wanting to explore more and pondering new insights for life and ministry. The online format works particularly well for me as a disabled person experiencing pain and fatigue, it’s very helpful not to have to travel.’
‘It felt like a safe space – for this I am very grateful to Sarum. At an intellectual level, it was great to explore the reality of body in trauma and how talking therapies for example is not a one size fits all.’

Looking for opportunities to build on your experience?
We offer a stimulating, creative, and supportive environment to deepen your reflective, theological, and pastoral abilities.
Learning opportunities include evening lectures, day and residential courses – all at varying levels, from academic to experiential, intensive to leisurely.
These courses operate through two overlapping frameworks, academic and practical, in varying formats – day, weekend and series courses. The College hosts conferences on a range of spirituality themes, including medieval spirituality, spirituality and healthcare, and spiritual direction.
Postgraduate programmes in Christian Spirituality are ideal for those with ministry or other professional experience and/or those with an undergraduate theological qualification who are seeking to deepen and develop their learning.
Study for academic credit can lead to a Postgraduate Certificate, Diploma and MA, with the opportunity to develop an Independent Research Project on a topic of your choice.
The courses dive into the history of the Christian spiritual tradition, explore the nature and place of Christian spirituality in the contemporary world, and offer specific focus on art, creativity, mysticism, embodiment, pastoral ministry, and sexuality among many other topics.
Another option is to try a postgraduate course without registering for academic credit, eg auditing a module.
We are happy to work with you to design a bespoke programme to suit your group or organisation’s needs.
