Overview

Note: This programme is phasing in from 2021

This is an advanced qualification in Christian Theology. The student will be further equipped for ecclesiastical ministry in a multicultural context. The student will be able to do valid interpretation and application of the Bible (with tools). The student will also be equipped for pastoral counselling and will be able to think and act in an ethical manner, be value driven, and engaged in community development.

Admission

In possession of an accredited B-degree in Theology with an average of 60% in the 3rd year.

In special circumstances, the Faculty may admit a student who is in possession of a non-Theological B-degree to Honours study in Theology. The successful completion of certain prescribed undergraduate BTh modules (120 credits), with a minimum passing rate of 60%, are required.

Method of Delivery

Distance:

The Faculty of Theology is utilizing a blended learning method of delivery for the BTh Hons qualification. The lecturers have developed online modules to enable self-directed learning on the side of the student. That means that the student works on his/her own and communicates with the lecturer and submits all the assignments online on our electronic platform (eFundi). Students write exams at exam centres close (usually) to them. Some modules make use of continuous assessment. That will mean that students don't need to go to exam centres to write a sit-down exam there.

It is important to note that a person should be in possession of a computer and have good access to internet if he/she would like to do distance studies. It is also the student's responsibility to find the books that are needed.
