Birmingham Newman University offers a full Masters qualification in Chaplaincy over 3 years. However if you choose to undertake the first year specialism in Paediatric and Maternity it will take you an additional year (4 years.)
For students who have already studied the Postgraduate Certificate in Chaplaincy or the Postgraduate Certificate in Paediatric and Maternity at Birmingham Newman we will be able to use your credits towards the full Masters programme* and normally you would start into year 2 of the course.
You will normally need a good undergraduate degree or equivalent or substantial experiential learning and demonstrate the ability to study at postgraduate level.
You will normally be working as a chaplain or similar in a paid or voluntary capacity for the equivalent of 2 sessions a week for each of the modules. One of your referees will need to be a person with direct experience of your practice, ideally also a chaplain. We will discuss your experience at interview. All applicants will be interviewed in person or over zoom, you will have the opportunity to ask questions and meet one of the teaching team.

Graduates have continued in their Chaplaincy Practice, often moving into leadership roles, or from voluntary to paid positions.
