Overview
The B.Theology degree from University of the Western Cape is designed to provide training for Christian leadership in the South African context. Students from a wide variety of churches study theology at UWC. This includes, for example, students from the AFM, African Independent Churches, Anglican, Baptist, Catholic, Congregational, Methodist, Moravian, Pentecostal, Presbyterian, Reformed and Zionist churches.
Career
The B.Th. degree is well suited for ordained pastors, priests, ministers, reverends or pastoral counsellors.
Theological Studies also allows students to develop skills in a variety of other areas, especially in community leadership. This will enable students to follow a career in teaching, community work and counselling.
The inclusion of non-theological subjects provides flexible career opportunities, especially for the ministry in congregations that cannot necessarily afford salaried pastors.
