Our Approach: Scholarship and Service

The programs combine class education with fieldwork and some of the ministry areas for practicum placement include churches, slum areas, non-governmental organizations, civic society, and a variety of church denominations. Students have access to classical as well as contemporary textbooks in our state-of-the-art University Library as well as a specialist Theological library in the School of Theology and a variety of e-resources through our digital learning platforms.
