The faith and spirituality-based programme is open to anyone interested in a professional caring role. It focuses on ecumenism and interreligious worldviews in a secular environment.
During your study, youll develop pastoral counselling skills and competencies, and learn more about theology and educational and psychological disciplines. Youll also study liturgy, prayer, community-building and faith development, and explore how chaplaincy studies and pastoral work can help you be supportive and non-judgemental to those who need it.
Widen your spiritual knowledge
Modules are delivered in-person and online. They cover topics such as professional and spiritual development, theology of ministry, cultures, religions and pastoral ethics, pastoral counselling skills and spirituality and ritual in context. Youll also complete a chaplaincy placement in an area of your choice, as well as a research project as part of your final module.
Once you graduate, youll be highly sought after for chaplain roles in schools, universities, parishes, prisons, rehabilitation centres, voluntary organisations and community facilities.
