Spurgeon's College offers six Master's courses, four of which lead to a Master in Theology (MTh) degree and two to a Master of Arts (MA) degree. The MTh in Preaching is offered in conjunction with the College of Preachers. This wide range of opportunities provides for academic interests as well as for the personal development of Christian ministers. For excellent students a Master's degree can be a stepping stone towards doctoral studies (DMin, MPhil, PhD).

If you are a minister in any denomination, your participation will upgrade your initial training and qualifications. You will achieve a higher level of theological awareness and/or reflect on your ministerial practice. The range of courses on offer through Spurgeon's College certainly meets your needs. We will help you handle the Bible, facilitate your understanding of developments in church and society, bring you up-to-date with trends in ministry, and/or enhance the application of theology to your own ministerial practice.
These are held on Saturdays in March, May and November and give you the opportunity to meet members of staff and find out more about the courses.
