The four focus areas of the theology program are the Bible, theology, ministry and lifestyle. Here you will learn about the most essential topics of the Christian faith. We delve into the individual books of the Bible, study Christian dogma, and through academic assignments reflect on the applications of faith in your own life and the life of the church. You will also be equipped to act on your knowledge and challenged to live out your faith. Ultimately, all of the theology curriculum points to how you can develop a deep relationship with Jesus and help others to do the same.
Christian leadership starts with God and his mission in the world, and then it's about how you lead yourself and others. That's why we build your leadership skills by giving you a theological foundation, practical leadership experience and inspiration for leadership and volunteering in church, business and society. The world needs Christian leaders who know both their theological foundation and leadership platform. The leadership track helps you analyze and ref lect from a theological leadership perspective, taking responsibility in churches, leading volunteer organizations, mission work, or business. Therefore, you also help to take responsibility in the daily life of the school, Belong, worship services and church practice.

On the Study Line, you immerse yourself in a thesis of your choice, and even have the option to opt for a Bachelor in Applied Theology. You can immerse yourself in theology, management, spirituality, missiology, media or music. The degree is an ideal option for those who want to equip themselves to work full-time in a free church, missionary organisation, humanitarian organisation or other church-related organisation.
The study line follows the school's regular daily routine and teaching. In the mornings, the school's various teachers teach you, giving you time to immerse yourself in your chosen subject. In the afternoons and evenings, you have the option of choosing any of the optional subjects and activities the school has to offer or to continue to immerse yourself in a subject under the guidance of a teacher.

A year at Mariager Højskole is not just about learning - it's also about putting your faith into practice. That's why we offer three different areas of service where you can use your gifts and develop in concrete service - locally, nationally and socially.

You will learn to combine compassion with action and gain experience in diakonia and social responsibility.
For those who are already involved in a church or ministry - and want to deepen and commit even more.

An opportunity to develop your calling and grow in practice.

It's the adventurous part of school that cannot possibly be described in these pages. It's the heartbeat - when that indescribable atmosphere happens. It's when your "to-read list" is almost complete while lounging in your hammocks, when you get out your wetsuits and swim across the fjord, or ride your bikes through the deciduous forests, when you join a Bible study group and read the Bible together from cover to cover, when time stands still in front of the beach fire at sunset. All that happens... That's college life too!
At Mariager Højskole we place great emphasis on an uplifting atmosphere of faith, worship, prayer and inspiration. As a student, you'll have fellowship every morning, at least one weekly worship service and special inspirational conferences with international speakers at the school.
The group is the small community in the big school environment. Groups have breakfast together every day and meet once a week for coffee, prayer, life sharing, Bible reading and trips together.
As a student at Mariager Bible College, you will have a personal, certified coach who will meet with you once a month. Here, your walk with God and people is put first, where no topic is too big or small.
By asking the right questions, your coach will help you reflect on where you've come from, where you are now and where you're going. Conversations can be about your personal goals and progress, or processing incidents and challenges from everyday life. They can delve into your history and identity or help clarify your dreams and calling or work through deeper questions of faith and meaning.
