Gospel-hearted theological training comes to you
Through Union’s Online Learning Communities, students in the UK, Europe, Africa, North America and South America can study with respected theological teachers including Michael Reeves, without leaving home.
Prepare for ministry and mission
At the heart of Learning Communities is the belief that theology and ministry go hand-in-hand. In a Learning Community you are:
taught by Union’s faculty
led and guided through the course by a pastorally experienced mentor
always learning with others
able to continue serving in your home church
Study theology in community
Online Learning Communities blend the flexibility of online learning with the benefits of studying together in community. Students regularly meet with a mentor and a group of others to discuss the content, apply it in their own context, and receive guidance in their studies.
Affordable and accessible
Without the costs associated with residential seminary, online Learning Communities make studying theology highly affordable and accessible.
What course is right for me?
Students in our Learning Communities can choose between two courses designed to help them take the next step in ministry and mission.
Graduate Diploma
A first theology course for people who have a degree in a different subject or suitable previous experience. The GDip covers biblical studies, theology and ministry practice, and takes 2 or 3 years part-time.
Master’s in Theology
A higher-level course designed to strengthen leaders in their ministry. It deepens biblical and theological knowledge while growing pastoral, preaching and practical ministry skills, and takes between 2-4 years part-time.
"Since being accepted to study at Union I haven’t been disappointed. The lecturers have led each class in their own unique way, laying their expertise on the table for us students to pick away at. But they have also allowed us to develop our own thoughts in interacting with the voices of the past. Their guidance and patience have been invaluable.”
