Higher Education Opportunities

Studying on higher education programmes can enable students to engage with the reality and complexities of the world in which we serve. Along with the specific contribution to the theology and ministry of The Salvation Army, it enables the organisation’s work to be recognised and appreciated in academic circles.

For students, studying at this level can provide the opportunity to gain in depth knowledge and develop their skills and practice whilst meeting their full potential.
