Union GDip Online – UK/EU/Africa Groups
Serving European time zones with affordable, flexible, accessible options for theological education.
Study our GDip by joining one of our Online Learning Communities
Through our approved Online Learning Communities, Union aims to serve the Church by providing an affordable and flexible option for in-depth theological education and formation. Our state-of-the-art online platform makes this possible as never before and, with excellent mentors, provides learning in community without requiring you to relocate.
Students will typically need to study around 20-25 hours per week and should be able to commit this study time over 30 weeks per academic year. This includes joining their Learning Community’s Zoom sessions together for up to 3 hours per week at the designated times. It is up to students how they spread their remaining study time across the week.
These Online Learning Communities are hosted via Zoom and deliver the GDip over 2 years.
