The Graduate Diploma
The typical track for those without prior theological study is the Ongoing Discipleship course. However, for those with a good 2.1 degree in another subject the Graduate Diploma in Theology, Ministry and Mission offers a more demanding entry into theology.
It is also a good conversion course for those ultimately looking to study the MA on our Postgraduate Study stream.

Choosing from the delivery modes
It is sometimes possible to mix and match the two modes of delivery (see 'When and where will you study' above), and when you make an application enquiry we will be able to offer guidance on what might be best in your particular situation.
Block Teaching weeks work well for those who are working full-time but can take occasional weeks off work to study. Places on block teaching weeks are subject to availability.
Cambridge Centre teaching is suitable for those within an hour or two's drive of Cambridge and for whom the weekly commitment for 8 weeks can fit around their existing schedule.
Both the Block Week and Cambridge Centre options provide an opportunity to enjoy other aspects of Cambridge and access to the excellent libraries in Ridley and the other members of the Cambridge Theological Federation.
