Course Overview

This online, part-time MA degree is designed especially for professionals seeking to study part-time and in the evenings.

Delivered online and requiring availability just one evening per week, the programme allows students to explore a broad range of theological disciplines such as systematic theology, church history, biblical studies, and practical and pastoral theology, completing their studies in as little as two years.

Rather than specialising in a single area, students will have the opportunity to engage with 1–2 units from each discipline, providing a well-rounded theological education. This pathway is ideal for those working full-time in professional contexts, and offers a strong foundation for further academic research or vocational development.

Please note: If you wish to fund your studies via Student Finance, you must not have held a previous Master’s degree and intend to complete the course in 2 years.

Classes

You’ll have the opportunity to engage with 1–2 units from each discipline, providing a well-rounded theological education, and your dissertation may be in any of the disciplines taught at NTC, making for our most flexible programme of study yet! Subjects will rotate on a yearly basis, with one set of four being offered one year, and another set of four offered the next.

Our entry requirements are designed to accommodate a variety of educational backgrounds:

General entry: BA (Hons) with a 2:1 or higher.

For those with non-theological degrees lower than a 2:1, we may require a Pre-MA programme as part of your acceptance to NTC to ensure they thrive in our postgraduate programme.

The Pre-MA programme can be completed in 2 ways:

  1. Students can complete our self-directed Pre-MA programme with 3 modules (more details here)
  2. Students can complete the Practical Theology class from the self-directed Pre-MA programme and take Knowing God in Christ and Introduction to Biblical Studies at undergraduate level. Undergraduate classes will only run during term time

International students: applicants whose first language is not English need to demonstrate their English proficiency. Undergraduate students need a minimum IELTS score of 6.5, or its equivalent, overall.

Contact us at admissions@nazarene.ac.uk for more information or if non-traditional entry is needed.
