The MA in Contemporary Christian Leadership provides an opportunity for personal and professional development to satisfy the aspirations of those who undertake studies to enhance, broaden and deepen their discipleship in terms of leadership. This programme enables reflective practice on Christian leadership; it provides a firm basis from which to pursue postgraduate research in theological and ministerial studies. The MA in Contemporary Christian Leadership aims to develop dispositions that are congruent with and necessary for leadership and mission. The programme explores questions and insights about leadership in today’s church by engagement with research and thinking at the forefront of specialised areas of study and professional practice in Christian leadership. It seeks to inculcate a generous, open and empathetic disposition to engage and cooperate with others in and beyond the church.

This programme has two required modules: Research and Reflection: Sources and Methods and the Dissertation. The remaining modules can be chosen from the diverse range of modules offered at level 7 (MA level) each year.

Students usually choose this course part-time over 3 or 4 years. This allows for two or three taught modules per year and one year for the dissertation. Studying at a faster pace is possible if not engaged in full-time work.
