The first group of African ministers to study at the Aberdeen University Centre for Ministry Studies were awarded their degrees in September.
Fourteen ministers from Malawi, Mozambique and Zimbabwe began studying part-time two years ago. Eleven have been awarded an MTh in Ministry Studies, two received diplomas and one suspended studies due to personal circumstances.
The programme was introduced in 2017 after a Draft Agreement was signed between Aberdeen University and Zomba Theological College; and sponsored by the Church of Scotland, the Presbyterian Church in Ireland and the Presbyterian Church of the USA.
