Common Awards

Common Awards are qualifications for ordinands and lay ministers within the Church of England and its partners in the Baptist, Methodist, and United Reformed churches.[1]

Description

Before 2014, Theological Education Institutions (TEIs) within the Church of England had used local universities to validate their qualifications but since September 2014 they have been offering awards common across all institutions, validated by Durham University.[2] The intention behind the move to Common Award was to offer greater coherence and consistency across training institutions.

The programmes developed offer a range of courses from introductory-level undergraduate (Certificate of Higher Education in Theology, Ministry and Mission) through undergraduate degrees (BA in Theology, Ministry and Mission) to postgraduate studies (MA in Theology, Ministry and Mission).[3]

Participating institutions

The Theological Education Institutes validated by Durham University on the Common Awards are:[4]
