BTI is passionate about enabling professionals to bring together their professional practice with their Christian worldview in life changing ways.
We offer postgraduate options for practitioners who wish to get a step ahead on the career ladder, at the same time as upskilling themselves in the latest research methods, leadership tools and practical experience.
All of our postgraduate options are offered wholly online with teaching and learning through BTI’s dedicated online learning platform, and using tools of remote working. Designed for busy professionals, our programmes are flexible enough to fit into your lifestyle.
Looking for the next step in your professional career? Wondering if you can enhance your professional practice by accessing the latest research? BTI’s Master of Professional Practice and Leadership degree offers all of this and more.
This is a great option for those with a wealth of professional experience but who would prefer not to complete a research project as part of their studies.
Learn about responding to trauma in research-informed ways. Join this programme in February or July. Start with a 5-credit micro-credential, or sign up for a full Postgraduate Certificate or Diploma that can lead into a Master’s degree.
Be equipped with the tools needed to support those experiencing trauma within your professional practice.
We are offering two new trauma focussed majors for our Professional Practice Programmes:
The Postgraduate Diploma in Professional Practice and Master of Professional Practice are designed for experienced professionals seeking to deepen their expertise and lead with confidence in their fields.
With three majors, this programme offers a comprehensive education tailored to the diverse needs of leaders and practitioners.
Our biblically-informed and culturally attuned curriculum integrates faith and professional practice, equipping graduates to make meaningful contributions to their workplaces and communities. Whether your focus is leadership, trauma-informed organisational practices, or therapeutic responses to trauma, this programme will provide you with the tools to thrive in complex, real-world environments. The trauma majors have three steps, the first of which is the Postgraduate Certificate in Responding to Trauma as described below:
Designed for current and aspiring leaders across various sectors, this major helps you develop strategic thinking, change management, and mentoring skills. Through engaging with leadership models and theories, both global and faith-based, you’ll cultivate a leadership style grounded in empathy, servant leadership, and practical wisdom.
This major is ideal for professionals and leaders in organisations that work with trauma-affected individuals or communities. You’ll gain a deep understanding of trauma’s impact on organisations and how to implement trauma-responsive practices that foster a compassionate, safe, and supportive environment. You’ll also explore approaches to mentoring, supervision, and leadership within trauma-informed contexts.
Targeted at counsellors, psychotherapists, social workers, and other professionals in therapeutic fields, this major focuses on evidence-based, ethical trauma therapy practices. You’ll learn to work effectively with trauma survivors, applying culturally sensitive and research-informed interventions. The programme provides you with advanced skills to support healing and growth for individuals and communities affected by trauma.
Many of our teaching staff are active in research, and within our postgraduate programme our kaiako are passionate about how research can inform our practice and our professional life.
Dr Lindsay Fish and Dr Simon Webb lead our postgraduate programmes and are active researchers in their areas of interest.
BTI can also provide tailored workshops for teachers, educators and professionals, to give you accessible and relevant Christ-centred professional development opportunities to help with the challenges you face.
