 Postgraduate MA
in European Mission and Intercultural Christianity
The diverse cultural expressions of the Church around the world have led to an increasing understanding of the contextual nature of European Christianity. The challenges to Christianity in Europe have also led to mission practioners within, and outside of Europe, recognising its needs as a mission field.
This unique MA combines the study of mission to and within Europe, with developing an understanding of how the past and current cultural influences present in Europe shape Christian practice.
Students complete four modules in total. This includes two required modules and up to two core modules or one core and one optional module. The dissertation will be expected to have a European focus or application.
