for professional, vocational and personal development programmes in theology that engage with everyday and pressing issues of Christian faith, life and practice.
Sarum 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 lead to Common Awards qualifications validated by Durham University.
We also offer non-accredited learning opportunities and resources for ongoing professional, vocational and personal development through our short courses.
This course has given me space to broaden my understanding of my faith and how I live that out in the world. I’ve enjoyed warm collegiality with fellow students as we journey together. The lecturers are supportive and responsive to the questions and challenges I’ve had while grappling with tricky subjects.

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. 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.
