Theology (Practical Theology)

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. The BA (Hons) in Theology: Practical Theology is a placement-based course (year 2) with full-time and flexible part-time routes available. Full-time study is for three years and up to six years part-time. Students combine their studies with a practical placement in their second year; a range of placement settings are available from community projects to churches, chaplaincy to night-shelters, missions and compassionate ministries. Core modules include: Contexts of Mission, Practice-based Learning, Reflective Practice, Spiritual Formation, Practical and Social Theology electives, Biblical Studies and a range of Old and New Testament subjects, Christian Doctrine, Theology and Church History. A range of Practical and Social Theology electives and electives from other disciplines to choose after the first year. To graduate, candidates will need to earn a certain number of course credits. For certificate courses, the total is 120 credits. Diplomas require 240 credits and degree courses 360 credits. Nazarene Theological College is an approved partner of The University of Manchester, delivering programmes developed by Nazarene Theological College, approved by and leading to an award of the University of Manchester.
