CRES is an associate partner with Cuddesdon.
This two-year Certificate is an opportunity to study rural and environmental issues from a Christian viewpoint. This part-time modular course by distance learning will be of interest to those with a personal or professional concern for the environment and countryside, rural communities and churches.
Students choose from a range of modules which consist of The Living World; Farming and Food; Creation Care Integral Mission; Globalisation and Faith; The Physical Environment; The Biological Environment; Rural Communities; The Church in the Countryside; Theologies of the Relationship between Humanity, Nature and God; Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Stabilisation, Energy and Climate; An Introduction to Biodiversity; and An Introduction to Environmental Ethics. Each module represents about 40 hours of activity and study. Students are examined on Study Papers and Work Diaries, one each per Module, and a written project presented at a Residential Consultation, the topic being chosen in consultation with the tutor and senior tutors.
Course fees: The cost is £900 in total, which includes two residential weekends at Cuddesdon, payable in two annual instalments. Bursaries can be made available on application.
