Attendees will be invited to prepare a reflection in advance of the reflection day encouraging them to reflect on the most difficult struggles they have had in their early days in ministry.
There will be 3 main sessions:

We consider this to be a very important element of our provision for NAMs.
We currently hold a series of ‘open events’ each year. They are an excellent opportunity to meet staff and current students and to ask questions about our courses without obligation. As well as the structured programme of sessions, there will be plenty of opportunity to discuss your options and to look around the campus.
Not sure which course is right for you? Our tutors will be on hand to help. Alternatively, take the chance to have a one-on-one conversation about finance, how to apply or visas for international students.
We are holding an opening on 11th June 2019. Please register to join us. A non-refundable registration fee of £5.00 is charged to attend open days.
