Please find the teaching dates for your chosen module by downloading the flyer: Auditing a Module at Westminster 202526

Don’t worry, we will be teaching the module again in the next academic year. Revisit this page at the beginning of the next academic year.

What will the classes and sessions for my module be like?
Class sizes vary between 5-25. There is always a wide range of age, backgrounds, and experience in the room, which makes for a very rich learning experience. The sessions are held here at Westminster or one of our sister colleges close by and involve a mixture of lecture-style content, seminar-style discussions and small group work.

Who teaches the classes for my module?
Classes are taught by the teaching staff at Westminster.

Who’s in the Room?

Modules bring together students of all ages—some training for ministry, others pursuing theological study for personal or academic growth. Participants come from across the Cambridge Theological Federation, creating a vibrant and ecumenical environment for learning.

Do I need to have studied any theology before?
For undergraduate modules, some prior theological study would be helpful. We recommend you have a first degree in theology to audit at level 7 (postgraduate). However, it is not compulsory and there are no admission requirements to audit the module.
