Lindisfarne offers courses of different types. Some are accredited and some are non-accredited. Non-accredited courses are designed for a wide range of different church people. They suit people of any educational background.
Accredited courses can lead to the award of a Durham University qualification. It is possible to exit at various points, with a Certificate or a Diploma – or to complete a full BA in Theology and Ministry. It's also possible to take a selection of modules just for interest, with or without completing any assessed work.
For those returning to study after a long break, or whose previous study has been in subjects that are essay based, you might like to take a look at the BBC Skillswise website.
