Course summary

The Community and Social Transformation pathway offers opportunities for students to engage with emerging theologies of transformational practices – exploring the complex questions that emerge for Christians engaged in community development and relief & humanitarian development.

The MA Theology (Community and Social Transformation) (and linked PGDip and PGCert awards) invites students to explore the interface of theology, faith, cultures and development practices within a community of practice. The pathway centres on critical reflection on praxis, the relationship between lived experience, transformational practices and theological frameworks, as applied to development work, social justice, anti-poverty approaches and community cohesion.

Additional fee information

As a private charitable college, we receives no support from government sources. NTC is supported by gifts and donations from Churches and from individual donors, and this allows student fees to be set at a competitive rate.

The cost of studying at NTC—and the options on how to pay—depend on the course you choose and whether you’re a UK/EU student or visiting us from further afield.
