A practice-focused doctoral programme for experienced ministers who want advanced study and a supervised ministry project. Suited to those holding a theological master’s degree with several years of full-time ministry experience and seeking renewed intellectual, spiritual and practical formation.

What you'll study

Coursework emphasizes sustained engagement with biblical, historical, and theological literature alongside cohort-based discussion of ministry practice. The DMin guides candidates through field research and the design and implementation of a contextual ministry project that deepens their expertise in the setting where they serve.

Entry requirements

Applicants should hold a theological master’s degree and have significant ministerial experience, typically three or more years of full-time service. The programme is intended for those already active in frontline ministry who seek further formation and research opportunities.

Career prospects

Graduates use the degree to reinvigorate parish, congregational, chaplaincy, denominational, or other ministry leadership. The DMin is oriented toward practical renewal—helping ministers sharpen skills, respond faithfully to needs in their context, and assume enhanced leadership or specialist roles within ministry settings.
