Theology, Mission, and Ministry - Children's Ministry or Youth Ministry Durham University

Overview

Theology, Mission, and Ministry - Children's Ministry or Youth Ministry at Durham University is validated by Durham University through Common Awards. All of our modules aim to enable students to connect their learning to their own contexts, so that knowledge is harnessed and becomes fuel for faithful, committed and fruitful service in churches and communities.

After completing the Certificate, you would have the option to continue your studies and progress to the Diploma. As part of the Diploma, you would be able to build on your knowledge and practice in the area of children’s ministry and/or youth ministry, taking modules such as our pioneering Diploma level ‘Growing Faith’ module.

Employability

Our degrees are designed to give you a strong and broad foundation of subject-specific knowledge as well as transferable skills and personal qualities developed during your studies: thinking clearly, writing well, presenting arguments, analysing texts, assessing evidence, solving problems, pursuing and organising research. These skills are highly valued across many sectors.

Our graduates readily find employment in fields such as church leadership and ministry, chaplaincy, para-church organisations, youth and children’s ministry and the charity sector.

A significant number also progress onto higher-level study, such as postgraduate study in Theology and Ministry or our Doctor of Theology and Ministry programme.

The majority of our students go straight into employment after completing their studies with us.
