Ministry Studies

Aberdeen University has been committed to Ministry Studies since its creation by Bishop Elphinstone in 1495. For more than 500 years our University has been 'open to all and dedicated to the pursuit of truth in the service of others.'

This commitment was renewed in 2014 with the creation of the Centre for Ministry Studies which was formed to develop a creative working relationships between the academy and the church. In addition to its practical training initiatives and academic courses, the Centre is engaged in uncompromising and transformational research into matters that concern the mission of God in the world today.
