Post-graduate
Diploma of Theology in Ministry (PGDTh)

Programme Eligibility
The program is
especially designed to produce graduates who will serve as parish pastors and
preachers. But its graduates can also
serve as chaplains in various settings, family/marriage counsellors, and youth ministers.
The program will be attended by students who have successfully completed a Bachelor’s program with honors or its equivalent in any field rather than theology
in a higher learning institution accredited by the Rwandan government. Applicants with foreign degrees will seek
equivalence from the Higher Education Council of Rwanda.
