2. Aims and intended learning outcomes The aim of the programme is to produce competent and independent theologians who have an adequate understanding of the discipline so that they can serve Church and society as well as engage in further academic study.

The intended learning outcomes are: 1. Knowledge and understanding On graduating from the BA (Honours) in Theology, students should be able to:

o A demonstrate comprehension of and intelligent engagement with Christianity in its varied forms

o B analyse some of the political, social, textual, intellectual, historical, theological, spiritual, ritual, ethical and institutional expressions of Christianity

o C demonstrate the ability to interpret the Bible independently, using appropriate tools o D summarise, represent and interpret the history of the Christian Church and its

doctrines in ecumenical, multi-faith and secular contexts 2. Discipline-specific and intellectual skills On graduating from the BA (Honours) in Theology, students should be able to:

o A represent views other than their own sensitively and intelligently with fairness and integrity, while expressing their own identity without denigration of others

o B demonstrate sophisticated understanding of the multi-faceted complexity of religions, for example in the relationship between specifically religious beliefs, texts, practices and institutions, and wider social and cultural structures, norms and aspirations

o C demonstrate intellectual flexibility through the practice of historical, systematic, dogmatic, linguistic, hermeneutical and empirical methods

o D demonstrate awareness of and critical assessment of religious contributions to debate in the public arena about, for example, values, truth, beauty, identity, health, peace and justice

3. Generic skills (transferable skills) On graduating from the BA (Honours) in Theology, students should be able to:

o A communicate information, ideas, arguments, principles and theories by a variety of means

o B identify, gather and analyse primary data and source material, through textual studies

o C attend to, reproduce accurately, reflect on and interact with the ideas and arguments of others

o D engage with empathy, integrity and critical reflection with the convictions and behaviours of others

o E demonstrate an understanding of collaborative work o F undertake independent/self-directed study/learning (including time management)

and reflect on their strengths and weaknesses as learners o G make discriminating use of a full range of library resources in order to identify

appropriate source material, compile bibliographies, inform research and enhance presentations

o H use IT and computer skills for data capture, to identify appropriate source material, support research, and enhance presentations

o I show independence in thought, and critical self-awareness about their own beliefs and commitments

Routes Students may follow either a vocational route through the programme, designed to prepare them for Christian ministry, or an open option route , designed to allow a wider range of

Page 4: Bachelor of Arts in Theology Programme specification Submitted … · 2018. 11. 9. · 1. Summary Awarding body/institution The University of Manchester Teaching institution Spurgeon’s

choices in place of the Professional Ministry and Practice units. The vocational route requires students to take a minimum of 10 credits and a maximum of 40 credits’ Professional Ministry and Practice units per level. Open option route students do not take Professional Ministry and Practice. Modes of study Students may study in taught (face to face), distance learning or blended modes. The ‘blended’ mode entails a mixture of taught and distance learning units. Open option students may study in any of the three modes. Vocational students may be either church-based, in which case their assessed placement component accounts for 40 credits at each level, or college-based, in which case it accounts for 10 credits. Vocational students may study in either taught or blended mode. If they study in blended mode, the majority of the credits, including all those for Professional Ministry and Practice units, must be taken in taught form.

Teaching, learning and assessment methods Teaching methods employed for this programme include lectures, group discussions, seminars, practical exercises, working in teams and, for vocational students, reflection on the practice of ministry.

Tutors give guidance before and after the production of oral and written work. Formative assessment is provided during every unit. Peer feedback may take place on class presentations. Those studying in distance or blended mode have a tutor for each unit they study whom they can contact for advice. Summative assessment is undertaken in a variety of ways appropriate to a practical, contextual programme. Most of it takes the form of essays. The pattern of assessment for a standard 10 credit unit is normally as follows:

• level 4: 2000-3000 words

• level 5: 2500-3500 words

• level 6: 3000-4000 words The language units are always assessed by means of an exam. Details can be found in the unit descriptors. At level 6, discretion is used in deciding whether students can attempt a 40-credit dissertation or a 20-credit long essay. Student support 1. Every year updated handbooks are made available online as downloads for students.

2. The unit descriptors are likewise available to students as downloads before the start of next academic year.

3. The Academic Director, the Director of Ministerial Training and Formation and the Principal as well as all other tutors are available to see students, if necessary without appointment.

4. Every year the full-time undergraduate students have two formal personal meetings with their pastoral tutors; records are kept in the students’ files.

5. A chaplain is available to all of students. Any contacts are confidential.

6. The course begins with the Orientation Week in September which contains all the elements necessary to get students off to a good start including sessions on use of the library, study skills and avoiding plagiarism in coursework.

7. In two units in the first semester (102 Studying Theology and 112 Introduction to the Bible) we pay much attention to essay writing and research skills. We do this bearing in mind that many of students have little academic background.

8. All undergraduate students who attend College are part of a pastoral group. The pastoral tutors are also available to students for any further help on an individual basis.

9. The librarian regularly organises training sessions on new issues such as e-books and she is accessible to all students.

10. The College has a disability policy and disability officer.

11. The common worship in the chapel on Mondays to Thursdays in term time is much appreciated by the students as a support in their spiritual life.

Page 7: Bachelor of Arts in Theology Programme specification Submitted … · 2018. 11. 9. · 1. Summary Awarding body/institution The University of Manchester Teaching institution Spurgeon’s

12. Part-time students participate fully in pastoral groups and other elements of the College’s

community life; they have access to the College chaplain if required. Entry to the programme requires a score of 6.5 or over on the IELTS test for those who are not native English speakers; there is no specific help with the English language. In respect of disabled students, the College’s disability policy is applied by or on behalf of the disability officer. The system of personal tutors ensures that overseas students receive the specific support they need.

Programme duration Full-time The full-time programme lasts for three years, with students attempting 120 credits per year. Part-time Part-time students normally attempt 60 credits (6 units) per year although other quantities are possible. Most students therefore complete level 4 (Certificate level) in two years and the entire Degree in six years. Students studying in distance learning mode are part-time; students taking a blended learning option may be either part-time or full-time. It is possible to transfer from the full-time to the part-time mode and vice versa.) The maximum period of registration for the degree for part-time candidates is nine years, with an expectation of 3 years per level. Exit awards Students who satisfactorily complete 60 credits receive a Spurgeon’s College Award. Students who satisfactorily complete 120 credits receive a University Certificate of Higher Education in Theology. Students who satisfactorily complete 240 credits receive a University Diploma of Higher Education in Theology. Students who have attempted 360 credits but who only complete 300 credits can be awarded the Ordinary Degree in Theology. Note that students may not acquire all of these awards: once they progress to the next level they must rescind their previous award. For example, if students have received a Certificate in Theology and subsequently resume their studies, they can only be awarded a Diploma or Degree when they rescind the Certificate. This is to ensure that they are not rewarded twice for the same work. Suspension of studies A candidature may be suspended, or a time-limit extended, on compassionate grounds or in case of illness, serious domestic difficulty or because of exceptional professional commitments.

5. Programme evaluation, monitoring and revision 1. At the end of each unit, students are asked to evaluate their learning experience. The

completed evaluation forms are sent to the unit tutors who add their comments; they are subsequently scrutinised by the programme leader and the Quality Assurance Committee which reports to the Academic Board. Students are represented on both committees and any significant outcomes are shared via the Student - Staff Liaison Committee.

2. At the end of each year, students are asked to evaluate their experiences on the

programme as a whole and the support they have received. This feedback may be gained by both oral and written means.

3. The programme monitoring procedures form a continual process of review by the

teaching staff team, with a rolling action plan in response to data about the quality of teaching, learning and achievement and the student experience.

4. The programme leader provides an annual report to the Academic Board and the

University. 5. The programme is part of the College’s internal scheme of periodic reviews. 6. Every five years the University carries out a review of the validated programmes. 7. Programme revision can be initiated by the College’ teaching staff or the Academic

Board as well as by the University. The students are represented on the Board as well as on the Quality Assurance Committee.
