Prerequisite Programmes Academic entry Obviously the most straightforward way is by having an academic qualification in a relevant discipline (usually a primary degree in a theological or related discipline). Mature/experience entry However, one of the most flexible aspects of this programme is that access will not be restricted to those who have a primary degree in theology. Naturally students on the programme will need appropriate theological knowledge and skills, but other qualifications and relevant experience can be taken into account. To enter by this route students will have had at least 2 years of relevant responsible ministry experience. The best way to find out about this particular entry route and whether or not you are eligible is to discuss it with us.
