This programme is research and discussion-based and learners have the opportunity for interaction and the sharing of results of their research in class sessions. The aim is to help develop the research and communication skills of the learners so that they can minister more effectively to the Body of Christ.
Entrance requirement: Christian leaders and lay persons who have completed a BA (Theology) or B.Th. qualify for this programme. A minimum grade average of 60% is required for entrance to the BA (Hons) degree.

Exceptions to this requirement may be made for persons with other academic qualifications beyond the three-year Bible Diploma and at least 5 years of ministry experience. Evaluation will be conducted by the ICBM Academic Control Committee and a decision given.
