Course summary
Our new MA in Theology and Mission (subject to validation by the University of Manchester) equips students to explore missional theology and practice in depth, to inform and enhance their own engagement in Christian mission today. The programme is designed to stretch and develop students’ understanding of missional theology and missional practice by providing opportunities for in-depth academic scholarship and critical reflection on practice. It can be studied either on-campus at Cliff College or online, full-time or part-time, enabling students to learn in the way that best suits them. The programme has two core units, Missional Theology and Missional Theology in Practice, which give students a strong foundation in themes, approaches and methods of mission and give them opportunities to practically apply and critically reflect on their learning. Students then choose from a range of optional units that develop and extend learning in subject areas of interest. Optional units include:
- Christian Doctrine and Mission
- Methodist & Wesleyan Identity and Mission
- Leadership and Mission
- Chaplaincy and Mission
- Bible and Mission
- Intergenerational Ministry and Mission
