Mariager Højskole's collaboration with Alphacrucis College, Sydney, makes it possible to study a Bachelor of Theology in three years through Mariager Højskole. The distinctive feature of the programme is that it is denominationally rooted in evangelical charismatic Christianity, unlike theological programmes which are non-denominational.
This Bachelor is a special and amazing combination of a number of subjects in biblical theology, systematic theology, church history, practical theology, leadership, missiology, spirituality and personal development. It thus differs from other theological degrees in having more emphasis on Christian life and ministry, and less emphasis on, for example, philosophy and biblical languages.
The first two years consist of teaching at Mariager Højskole. After that you will be transferred to Alphacrucis College. From here, you can (1) study online from home, (2) take a third year of the college's degree programme and complete your bachelor's degree online, or (3) go to Australia and study directly at Alphacrucis College, Sydney. The education component is unique in the field of higher education, and it should be emphasised that the education component is an optional extra to the normal higher education course. The college's undergraduate programme averages 4-9 undergraduates per year.
Contact Mariager Højskole's Academic Dean for more information.
The Bachelor's programme is an approved international Bachelor's programme in Denmark. This is because Alphacrucis College is approved as a research-based institution by the Australian Education Authority, and therefore it will be assessed on an equal footing with other foreign Bachelor's programmes in Denmark. Alphacrucis College has been on the Danish SU Fast Track list for several years, which means that it is approved for SU and possible overseas scholarships. This approval must be renewed every five years. See the current status on su.dk
In principle, the bachelor's degree should be accepted in all higher education programmes (master's and bachelor's programmes) that admit students not only from a narrow field of study, but from different bachelor's programmes such as pedagogue, teacher, 3K, and other professional bachelor's programmes.
Each institution will always make an individual assessment, but there is precedent for students being admitted to the following places on the basis of their Bachelor of Arts in Ministry:
As a graduate in (applied) theology, you will have a thorough knowledge of the many nuances of Christian dogmatics, biblical theology, leadership, ministry, the art of preaching, spirituality, pastoral care and have learned to apply these theories through practical experience.
You can work as:

THEOLOGICAL EDUCATION - We live in a world where professional insight, knowledge and education matter, and therefore it is also an important part of Mosaik's leadership and pastoral training program. Mariager Højskole has an educational partnership with Alphacrucis College (AUS) for a fully accredited Bachelor of Arts in Ministry, which includes systematic theology, biblical studies, pastoral theology, spirituality, and practical ministry subjects.
NETWORKING - As an aspirant in Mosaik, social relations and networking with others is also important. Here you can share questions, thoughts and ideas with other aspirants, as well as build a network with experienced pastors and leaders. It is mandatory for an aspirant to attend relevant gatherings, including SummerCamp, Next, SuperDay, Leadership Conference, as well as regular gatherings for aspirants.
MENTORING - The church leadership selects a mentor with whom you meet once a month. In the mentoring conversation, we talk about ministry, education, personal skills and well-being. Specific goals are set and evaluated from time to time. In addition, it is important that the pastor and trainee pastor meet regularly to pray together, evaluate and plan.
PRACTICUM - With regular responsibilities in the church, you will experience the maturation and development of your ministry gifts. You will also have the opportunity to try out new aspects of yourself with a wide range of tasks in the church. Overall, this will give you insight and experience in leadership and pastoral ministry.
You can only become a leader or pastor aspirant in a local church. In cooperation with the church leadership and Mariager Højskole, a contract is drawn up with goals, job description, training plan and special conditions to ensure that all expectations of each other are aligned.
