Get started: Priscilla Programme

The Priscilla Programme is designed for women who serve their local churches in voluntary ministries. Inspired by Priscilla in Acts 18:26, it helps women to learn how to teach other women 'more accurately', care for others more biblically, and give reasons for their faith and hope.

Courses include Old Testament, New Testament, Doctrine, Evangelism & Apologetics, Church History, Ethics & Pastoral Care.

10 weeks per course; groups break for half-term.

Going deeper: Individual MTh Courses

Choose from a range of unaccredited MTh courses to go deeper in your theology.

View the full list of courses available, including Biblical Languages, Old Testament Studies, and Biblical Counselling and Care in the Local Church, on our MTh programme page.

Individual MTh course fees vary depending on delivery mode and whether you wish to complete the written assignment - view the Shorter Courses fees. UST alumni benefit from further discounts.
