Staffordshire University

The Centre for Youth Ministry (CYM) at Ridley currently partners with two universities - Staffordshire University and The University of Gloucestershire.

All training and teaching is provided and overseen by Ridley Hall, but these formal links enable our youth work trainees to graduate from Ridley with a full degree from the university that validates their chosen course.

Our partnership with Staffordshire University enables us to offer a wider range of training for students who want to pursue a career working in particular with children and their families, and in schools.

Together with the Centre for Pioneer Learning, CYM also offers a foundation degree in Pioneer Community-based Ministry validated by Staffordshire University.

If you are thinking of training at Ridley for youth ministry, we will discuss with you the best course - and the corresponding university to enrol with - when you visit Ridley. To start exploring our courses now, try our Coursefinder Flowchart.
