BA (Hons) (five programs)

Our undergraduate programs combine academic excellence with opportunities to develop practical ministry skills. You will gain a UK undergraduate degree awarded by Newman University and develop future leadership and ministry roles in churches or other organizations.

You can choose one of the five specialist areas:

BA (Hons) Theology and Ministerial Leadership

BA (Hons) Theology and Ministry with Counselling

BA (Hons) Theology and Ministry with Entrepreneurship

BA (Hons) Theology and Ministry with Media Culture

BA (Hons) Theology and Ministry with Youth Work and Music

Your program will also cover theology, biblical studies, leadership, mission and contemporary culture, and academic skills such as communication and critical thinking required of higher education in the UK.

We offer both campus-based and distance learning programs, or a combination of the two. Our campus-based programs are delivered in Harrow, North West London, with teaching taking place for a full-day every Friday during term time. Our distance learning programs are structured flexibly to fit your availability, but you will need to set aside a regular time for study each week.

All our programs can be undertaken full-time or part-time. Our full-time undergraduate programs typically take three years and part-time, either four and a half years or six years, depending upon how many modules you take each year. You will undertake 120 credits per year (six 20-credit modules) on a full-time program, and part-time, you will undertake 80 credits per year (four 20-credit modules).

You can start our distance learning program at any time during the academic year.
