RE Certificates presented to Centenary Cohort

Congratulations! We are thrilled to celebrate the achievements of the ‘centenary cohort’ who were the first to be awarded the Certificate in Religious Education as part of the well established partnership with St Mary’s University College.   Professor Patricia Eaton commented ‘Our trail-blazing students demonstrated dedication and a genuine passion for expanding their knowledge in the field of Religious Education’.  Although Covid-19 considerably impacted the first couple of years of this programme, the students and staff worked through the difficulties together and, after three years of dedicated study in addition to their undergraduate programs, students have emerged as certified and competent teachers of Religious Education.

The Certificate in Religious Education is validated by the Church Authority and is required by those seeking appointment to a permanent teaching position in a maintained primary school.
