Christ's College, Aberdeen

The post of Master of Christ's College is still a Church of Scotland appointment, but for most purposes it is closely connected with the University of Aberdeen's School of Divinity, History and Philosophy.

[2] The principal role of Christ's College is to oversee the preparation and formation of ministerial candidates for the Church of Scotland.

From its offices in the University of Aberdeen, the college collaborates closely with the divinity faculty to ensure candidates receive appropriate academic training for the ministry, funding a lectureship in Practical Theology, organizing extramural lectures and seminars, and hosting an annual lecture at the beginning of each academic year.

It also contributes to the spiritual life of the university, organising a weekly Chapter Service during each academic term.

The college administers the Lumsden and Sachs Fellowship, awarded to the University of Aberdeen's most outstanding graduating student in Divinity and Religious Studies.
