The PGT Programme in Mission (Masters, PG Diploma or PG Certificate), validated by the University of Manchester, is a flexible programme with a number of streams allowing a student to follow their desired subject choices within a very flexible time frame. The subject areas include Mission, Evangelism, Pioneering Ministries, Leadership, Renewal and Worship, Christian Mentoring, Wesleyan Theology, Youth and Children's Mission. An MPhil (and PhD) are also available.
With some of the foremost international experts in Christian mission, leadership, and scholarship, the MA Mission is ideal for going deeper on themes such as: pioneering mission and church planting; responses to church decline in the west; missional movements and networks; the Holy Spirit in leadership; evangelism in a digital age; church history; biblical theology; global justice; missional spirituality, literature & culture; and much more! The degree is validated by The University of Manchester, one of the most significant universities in the world.
The MA in Mission is a highly flexible programme which is normally studied full- or part-time over one to three years.* This means it is ideal both for those pursuing an academic vocation as well as for those currently involved in mission or ministry who need to juggle their studies with their church/mission commitments.
To complete the MA, students must complete any four units and then a dissertation in their final year. They can also choose to take a ‘Pathway’ with a more specified focus, or complete the course at a distance by taking the online units.
A list of taught units and study options can be found here: https://www.cliffcollege.ac.uk/students/postgraduate/ma/
All units (except those delivered online) are taught in five-day (Mon–Fri) intensive teaching blocks, enabling students from across the British Isles, Europe and beyond to participate while remaining in employment.
In some circumstances, a student may study the MA over a period up to 5 years, though advance approval is required.

“An excellent blend of academic teaching, practical application, and spiritual input.”
“The Tutors were attentive, approachable and helpful. The Christian values and ethos they hold shine through.”
“My confidence in the gospel and evangelism was restored.”
“It was stimulating, challenging and practical and everything I hoped I would explore during ministerial training but never did.”
“I love coming to Cliff…I really feel it’s my college when I come. Great community feel and small enough not to get lost or overwhelmed.”
“Loved being in this community and the rhythm of life.”
“I’ve never studied at this level before, and so I wondered if I would be able to keep up. All the staff and lecturers were very affirming, understandable and positive. So I feel very good…I’ve been given food for thought and inspiration to take home.”
“Thought-provoking, challenging and I would say potentially life changing.”
“I have learnt a lot. It is life changing. During the course of the lectures I have laughed, sang, been challenged, repented and worshipped God.”
If you are looking to pivot your career into a management-related field, the MSc in International Management degree program is designed to help you develop your knowledge and skills in management. The NGO and Mission-Based Management Track is designed for students interested in non-profit management.
Non-governmental and mission-based organizations require all the core competencies in finance, strategy, and operations that are relevant for businesses or corporations; but they also require special leadership and negotiation skills for communities and their stakeholders, as well as special resource management skills, particularly human resources. Your core requirements and their practical applications will enable you to develop these capabilities while also providing elective choices in relevant areas like development communications, or politics and policy, as well as more specialized courses such as “Women, Conflict Resolution and International Law” or “Politics and Economics of Global Media,” among many others.
Complement core requirements in leadership, strategy, finance, ethics and operations with the opportunity to delve further into potential areas of interest such as managing global communications, economics, negotiation, and international relations.
Students will learn the skills and tools of project management by using both practical “hands-on” approaches as well as by applying theory to practice. This course guides students through many of the fundamental operations and project management tools and behavioral skills required in both private sector organizations as well as with NGOs and governmental organizations.
The MSc in International Management encourages students to take their education beyond the classroom. Your learning experience is deepened by the opportunity of immersive practica and study trips where you will come into contact with experts in the field. Learn about the NGO practicum in Cambodia.
Graduates from the MSc in International Management go on to meaningful careers in diverse fields across the world. They represent contemporary, forward-thinking managers, engaged leaders for sustainable development, and thoughtful professionals making a difference on the international stage.
As a student you will benefit from hands-on fieldwork and research development as you gain professional skills throughout the duration of your studies. This, together with the rigorous academic training, can lead to jobs in companies across the world. You will be well-prepared to pursue a career in a range of sectors and organization types, including corporations, non-governmental organizations, start-ups, nonprofits and family businesses. View career outcomes for graduates from the MSc in International Management.
This MA is designed for lay and ordained Christians with significant experience of working (paid or volunteer) in churches, mission agencies or not-for-profit organisations (faith-based or secular), enabling you to engage theologically and strategically with the contemporary world.
The course will provide you with the opportunity to integrate biblical, theological and empirical studies in the context of Christian spirituality. The aim is to engage faithfully and practically with existing and emerging challenges to Christian ministry and mission in the twenty-first century.
Students on this course become highly learned and educated professionals capable of providing intellectual leadership in, and adapting to the needs of, contemporary churches. You will have the opportunity to develop an understanding of the contribution that theological and biblical studies can make to the effective provision of Christian ministry in the community, and be equipped with the knowledge and critical skills to bring advanced academic expertise to professional work in church and ministerial practice.
The course will provide you with an integrated framework for theology and biblical studies in the context of Christian ministry and mission, which you can use to transform your ministerial practice. You will also develop the critical faculties of analytic and research skills, to enable you to create and interpret new knowledge in theological and ministerial studies, and extend the reach of the discipline in society.
Our networks with other local universities and places of learning will give you regular access to a range of extra-curricular seminars and other educational events relevant to the study of Christian ministry. The University’s proximity to the centre of London with its rich religious history, its diverse religious communities, and its many museums, art galleries, libraries and places of worship, makes it an ideal venue for those who are interested in exploring the histories, interactions and influences of religious communities in contemporary culture as part of their studies.
You will first of all reflect theologically and strategically on the character, nature, purpose, and practice of Christian ministry in church and society. You will be equipped to research the practices of ministry and mission, through study of key Missiological texts.
You will study ministry across a range of denominations and traditions including Pentecostal, Charismatic, Methodist, Anglican, Baptist and Catholic. You will explore and evaluate the language, secular/sacred ideas, rituals and cultural norms that nourish spiritualities, ministerial formation, and ministry practice within different historical and cultural contexts. In particular, you will examine how forms of Christian worship, such as prayer, scriptural readings and sacraments, influence conduct, moral behaviour and patterns of life, in order to develop your ministerial abilities within different political, social and economic environments.
You will also be able to take modules which look at the theological ideas from both classical and modern periods, which are of greatest relevance to church ministry and mission in the contemporary world. Using this theoretical grounding, you can pursue your interest in practical areas of ministry such as marriage and family life, or community work. In these complex and demanding areas, the Christian minister and theologian are faced with new challenges. These modules will give students the historical and academic understanding to be able to offer fresh Christian perspectives, and encourage you to develop your own responses.
There will also be the opportunity for you to reflect deeply on a particular aspect of ministerial practice through the dissertation module.
Here are examples of modules you will study as part of this programme:
Compulsory and Required modules
Compulsory and/or required modules may change when we review and update programmes. Above is a list of modules offered this academic year.
Optional modules
Optional modules, when offered as part of a programme, may vary from year to year and are subject to viability.
Students of this course include ordained ministers wanting to pursue continuing ministerial education (CME), and lay Christians seeking careers as practitioners in faith-based or secular organisations. Students may go on to pursue further academic study.
