Methods of instruction We are keen to train the whole person for effective mission in God’s multicultural world. Our teaching styles are varied and innovative. We teach through interactive classes, small group seminars, case studies, debates, and arts workshops. Students also spend time in personal research and study and reflect on their learning through a range of assessments. We recognise the importance of practical ministry. Each student can choose from either a local church placement or a practical project linked with the local community. The range of projects vary from working with the homeless and marginalised to international student work, youth and children’s ministry, sports ministry and more. Every student is assigned a personal tutor to help mentor and support them through their studies. We recognise that students come from a variety of backgrounds in terms of education, qualifications and experience, and therefore personal tutoring is beneficial to the individual needs of the student.
