Frequently asked questions
Do I have to be a Christian or religious to study at MF?

MF is built on Christian values, and we hold both services and other Christian events. But it is entirely voluntary to join, and we have many students and staff who either belong to different religions or are not religious.

The one-year programs also provides teaching qualifications when combined with an educations degree, or they can be a useful supplement to other studies. The one-year programs can be relevant for various jobs within, for example organisations and public administration.
