Applicants are asked to submit:

​— A completed application form

— A two to three-page spiritual autobiography

— Three references: pastoral, academic, character-focussed

— An Elders’ Affirmation Form (MDiv and BDiv applicants)

​Applicants for the MDiv programme must hold a Bachelor’s degree or equivalent. Those who do not hold a prior degree may apply for the BDiv.

Students with relevant prior undergraduate or postgraduate experience, and in good standing at their previous institution, may apply to transfer to a Master’s programme with advanced standing. Applicants must submit an official transcript of the courses completed to at least a ‘C’ or 2:2 average.

We welcome applications from outside the UK.

Applicants for a degree programme without an English-medium undergraduate degree may be required to prove their proficiency in English by achieving a score of at least 85 in a TOEFL test or 6.5 in IELTS.

Residential students must comply with all applicable immigration/visa requirements and provide proof of funding. Our ASIC accreditation allows us to support applications for a 6-month short-term study visa in any twelve-month period; unfortunately we cannot presently offer Tier 4 visas.

A hybrid teaching model, which blends in-person and online teaching, allows us to accommodate students who need to study from their home country so long as they have the support and mentorship of a suitably qualified pastor. They must be willing to attend lessons in real-time, and to interact with their teachers.

A minimum of 10% of credits must be taken in person, and regular intensive teaching weeks will be scheduled to accommodate visits from students at a distance. Where possible we will provide accommodation with a host family. Westminster's premises are in Oxford, with excellent connections to Heathrow Airport and London.

MDiv and BDiv

Tuition is charged at £215 per credit hour, which includes full access to Perlego's million-volume eLibrary. A full-time MDiv or BDiv student will expect to pay £6,450 per year; a part-time student, £4,300.

MAR

Tuition is charged at £215 per credit hour, which includes full access to Perlego's million-volume eLibrary. To complete the degree over three years will cost £3,153 per year.

ThM by thesis

The total cost of a ThM is currently £4,500, which breaks down as follows:

• Tuition: £1,935 for nine credit hours

• Supervision: £2,000 for primary supervisor and reader

• Final oral examination (viva) and graduation ceremony: £565

If a secondary supervisor is required (which depends on the nature of the thesis) this will incur an additional £750.

Should the thesis take more than four years then an extension fee of £750 per 6-month period is levied.

Through our internship programmes and sponsorship we aim to ensure that fees are not a barrier to any student, and that no one leaves having incurred a debt:

Tuition Fee Scholarship

Degree students (those on the MDiv, BDiv or MAR programmes) on a low household income are invited to apply to the bursar in confidence for a contribution towards tuition fees of up to 50%. Scholarship students are required to study at least 20 credit hours per year.

Knox Internship

Westminster UK grants a limited number of MDiv/BDiv students a tax-free study bursary to assist a Reformed church in the UK or Europe to employ them as an intern. Interns are required to study full-time whilst offering at least 16 hours service a week to the church under the mentorship of an experienced pastor. This bursary is awarded on a match-funding basis—meaning that the seminary will contribute the same amount as the church, up to £10,500 a year.

Please get in touch if you have an enquiry about our internship programme, tuition fee scholarship, or other fee-related question.
