This is a two-year intensive course that is a combination of academic training, professional exposure and spiritual formation, towards the wholesome growth and transformation of the candidates. Upon successfully completing the course programme and the required practical experience, candidates will be awarded a Master’s degree by the Catholic University of Eastern Africa. Such graduates will be equipped to facilitate healing and give counselling support to persons across Africa, who are struggling with such issues of an emotional, psychological and spiritual nature, as depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, confusion, burn-out, mid-life crisis, addictive disorders, grieving disorders, suicide ideation, as well as sexual abuse. They could also serve as Counsellors and Chaplain in several institutions, including colleges and universities, formation houses and seminaries, prisons, hospitals, and drug rehabilitation centres.
There is room for those who choose to simply “audit” the two-year course without the master’s degree.
