Field Education is a practical ministry involvement which provides opportunities to translate theory into practice. It is therefore designed to make students develop and Exercise their spiritual gifts, skills and abilities to fulfil their individual calling. It is set to compliment academic studies. It also gives students a context in which they are made to appreciate the relevance of their academic studies. By and large, it is a means of bridging the gap between theory and practice. 

Objectives:

• Personal Maturity: One focus of Field Education is on the student’s personal maturity – that is, his or her ability to assess different situations and then respond to them appropriately. In this regard, factors of personality, self- awareness, gifts, experiences, etc, play an important part. But more significant are the attitudes which underlie them: Servant-hood, humility, Teachability, interdependence and accountability. Our goal is the kind of maturity which will result in people when they submit themselves wholeheartedly to God in service for Christ and others. Experience suggests that reflection and supervision can assist this process. 
• Theological Integration: Field Education provides a context for the student to translate the concept learned in the classroom into practical terms. The effective minister needs to be able to integrate his understanding of the Bible with practical issues. An inadequate theology can often be detected within the context of ministry. 
• Spiritual Formation: Field education provides an opportunity for growth in relationship to God through Jesus Christ. Many aspects of spirituality are important for ministry: dependence on the Holy Spirit, a growing desire for fellowship with God, experience in prayer, respect for the sovereignty and grace of God, a desire to see others to know and grow in Christ. Field Education without such relationship with God is empty and futile. Care in supervision and personal development of the devotional life can assist the nurturing of faith. 
• Skill Development: Field Education is designed to expose students to a range of ministry options over the period of their course so that gifts and abilities can be tested and developed. For many students, self- imposed ministry and external expectations limit growth to previously proven areas; hence there is an emphasis on assignments being varied from year to year.
