Christian Education Units

1. Studying theology is not the same as studying modern languages, arts, engineering or science, e.g. in that we study theology not to becomes masters, but to be mastered. With many other subjects, what we learn might have little impact on our core values and beliefs. Theological study affects not only our mind, but our whole person. The aim of the unit is to address the philosophy of theological study and to equip students with the academic tools required to maximise the benefit of their studies to them. 

2. A key skill required for study is the ability to use a computer effectively. This course is designed to teach students the basic skills to be able to use a Personal Computer. The course explores the hardware aspect of working with a computer, the operating system environment and basic skills for using a word processor and presentation software as wells as using the internet for research and e-mail.
