| Description | The Bachelor of Ministries is a 360 credit degree designed to equip students for culturally connected expressions of the gosepel and to provide a platform for global ministry. The BMin is built around the concept of "internship based learning." This means that the entire programme relates to practical ministry experience undertaken for credit as an integral part of the programme. It provides rigorous academic study, intelligent Christian interaction with contemporary society and practical ministry training and experience. The degree has a core of biblical, theological and historical studies which provides a foundation for a deep appreciation of the Scriptures and the outworking of the gospel in life and ministry. |
