What will I learn?

The faith and spirituality-based programme is open to anyone interested in a professional caring role. It focuses on ecumenism and interreligious worldviews in a secular environment. During your study, you’ll develop pastoral counselling skills and competencies, and learn more about theology and educational and psychological disciplines. You’ll also study liturgy, prayer, community-building and faith development, and explore how chaplaincy studies and pastoral work can help you be supportive and non-judgemental to those who need it.
