Intensive Programmes (pre-ordination)
YMC, in association with the College of the Resurrection, is able to offer an Intensive Programme in which all learning and ministerial formation would be completed in two years rather than three. Students would participate in weeknight and weekend teaching, as well as in the residential components, of standard programmes. Concurrently, they would undertake further learning through weekday sessions at Mirfield. It is estimated that an additional 2.5 days per week would be required to complete this option.
