Theology (Online) Certificate of Higher Education - CertHE

You’ll find undergraduate courses at NTC can open many doors – to ministry, community work or continued education. In fact, recent graduates have gone on to find roles in some fascinating settings, in Britain and abroad. To give you greater flexibility, all of our courses are modular. This means the course can form a qualification in its own right or it can be used to build credits in your ‘learning account’. These credits can then go towards an award from the college.

Each course has a combination of ‘required units’ and ‘elective units’. The ‘required units’ make sure that the core elements are in place. The ‘elective units’ allow you to choose areas of particular interest from the full range of units on offer. Although all ‘required units’ are available each year, many ‘elective units’ are available on a two-year cycle. Youth and Community and Practical Theology streams also available. Students will receive a minimum of 120 credits while on this course and core modules include: Introduction to Theology and Biblical Studies, Story of God, Church History, Christian Doctrine, Spiritual Formation, Christian Holiness, a range of Old and New Testament subjects, and Practical and Social Theology electives.

The Certificate in Theology offers a great foundation in theological education as a preparation for Christian service. With full-time and flexible part-time routes available the Certificate can be studied over one year (full-time) or two years (part-time). Students may wish to exit with this qualification or use it as the first level towards completion of the degree.
