Student Stories
"Alphacrucis University College helps you to empower others by instilling the kind of care for people as exemplified by Christ."
The evidence-based teaching at AC has helped me develop a more intelligent approach when counselling people in sensitive areas such relationship breakdown and addictions. It has really transformed the impact of my ministry.
I wanted to help others and started the same degree at a public university but a lightbulb came on when my lecturer said that our worldview affects everything we do in this job. At that moment, I realised I needed to find a new place to learn that aligns with my worldview. I found Alphacrucis and I have never looked back.
“I really liked putting into practice what we learnt in our practical hours. I also liked that our trainers and facilitators gave clear examples of their own chaplaincy experiences to illustrate what we were being taught. I felt part of a family within our cohort.”
