Master of Divinity (M Div)
BGST supports God’s call to each believer to minister in his or her place of service. Our Master of
Divinity programme provides equipping and training which is suitable for both clergy and laity.
The M Div can be taken on a part-time or full-time basis.
Students may complete a Thesis as part of the M.Div. With effect from June 2007 this is optional.
