for professional, vocational and personal development programmes in theology that engage with everyday and pressing issues of Christian faith, life and practice.
The Sarum Formation in Ministry study programmes are delivered in a challenging and supportive environment.through a vibrant blend of online, in-college and contextual learning for independent students.
Flexible study programmes, part-time or full-time, postgraduate or undergraduate lead to from Common Awards qualifications validated by the Durham University.
We also offer learning opportunities and resources for ongoing professional, vocational and personal development through our short courses.
Independent students study alongside other pathways, including those training for ordination and lay ministry. This learning in community is through the online tutorials and study days in college for flexibility. You can, for example, take an HE Diploma to a postgraduate award such as an MA. Depending on the course, these take 1, 2 or 3 years part-time.
Sarum College has a strong ecumenical heritage, and students from any denomination are welcome. There is a necessary focus on the Church of England for authorised ministry students, but the unique contributions of other backgrounds are valued.
We discuss each enquiry individually to work out what course is best for your needs. Please note that these courses don’t authorise you for ministry in your church.
Fees will differ according to the speed at which you take modules and the pathway you follow. Please contact us to discuss.
