Students are usually based in an agreed local church, often working as a Minister In Training (MIT), intern or volunteer for up to 20 hours a week. They are also full-time students of Regents Theological College, studying from their home setting for the remainder of the week. They visit the College campus in Malvern for four consecutive days (Tues – Fri), six times per year for the face-to-face taught elements of the course. This is supported by tutorials and seminars delivered via Zoom or online. Context based student’s gain valuable experiential learning in being able to directly apply the practical aspects of their studies with involvement in their church or workplace as they progress.
