Master in theology and ministry

Do you want to work in leadership positions in churches or Christian organizations? Then a master's degree in theology and ministry would be a good start. Master in Theology and Ministry About the program We like to think of MATM as Theological studies for Ministry in a changing context. The Master in Theology and Ministry is a natural choice for students aiming at leadership positions in churches or organizations. MATM is a 120 ECTS credit program running over two years at normal progression. Because of flexibility built into its structure, and the use of online recourses, you may live where you already live and travel to the campus in Bergen only for the two learning intensives each semester. What do you learn? As the condition for religion changes in secularized European societies, theological education needs to change with it. MATM seeks to equip church leaders and employees in organizations with the competencies needed to engage in the uncertainties of future ministry in a constructive and critical manner. The academic field of theology is in development. As MATM-students you are brought to the forefront of practical theological research: whereas some speak of an empirical turn, and are dedicated to the contextual and experiential side of theology, others advocate more of a theological turn interested in the distinct spiritual and revelatory nature of theology. In any case, MATM represents a sincere willingness to bring theoretical insights to the practice field, and practical disturbance to theory.
