The Master of Arts in Music and Worship is a University of the Nations degree program run at YWAM Perth, Australia beginning July 7, 2019. Enrolling in this two year program gives a student the opportunity to explore the concepts and contexts of music guided by world class/internationally experienced teachers. The music and worship curriculum offered is adapted to operate within a Christian university and mission context. Course topics include: music theory, music history, worship leadership, instrumental / vocal training, music literature, rehearsal techniques, international worship, worship in missions, biblical history and theology of worship, song-writing, event management, and conducting. The last quarter of the program will be focused on the delivery of the Capstone Project or Recital, followed by a six week international outreach. The pre-requisites for this program include the successful completion of a Discipleship Training School (DTS) and a successful application and audition process into the Masters program. It is also required that the student successfully complete the Bible Core Course (BCC) either before or after doing the Masters program in order to graduate from the University of the Nations with an MA degree. There are many directions you can take your Master’s Degree in Music and Worship. You can use your finely honed gift to unlock many doors on the mission field… perhaps

The Masters in Christian Formation and Discipleship
Cape Town, South Africa and Harpenden, England
We define Christian Formation as the process and practices that deepen one’s experience of the triune God together with others, as well as grows one’s character and clarifies one’s vocational calling so that one relates and lives as Jesus would if he were that person. Our program is designed to first facilitate the Christian formation of the candidate while equipping them to do the same for others. In this context of growing as a disciple and facilitating the discipleship of others, the candidate will explore a breadth of relevant theories from the disciplines of theology, church history, psychology/counseling and education while examining a variety of discipleship models. The candidate will continue to adapt their own model of discipleship as they integrate and apply what they are learning.
