Theology was never meant to stay in the classroom.

Learn it.
Live it.
Put it into practice.

Our BA (Hons) Theology students don't simply study ministry - practical placement is built into the programme.
In the first two years, students have the opportunity to undertake a placement of approximately three hours each week, putting learning into practice in real ministry contexts.
Because theological education should shape how we serve.

At BST, the first year of our BA (Hons) Theology programme builds around three key areas:
📖 Bible
🌍 Mission
⛪ Ministry
Giving you foundations for wherever God may lead you next.
