4.5 Year
The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) programme offers students the opportunity to display the creation, interpretation, construction and exposition of knowledge which extends the forefront of a discipline through original research.
Students need to offer a substantial original discovery, analysis, or new critical theoretical construction of a quality that would satisfy peer review. The thesis (80,000 words), should demonstrate that the students’ competence in a chosen area is comparable with that of the experts together with the ability to make informed judgements on complex issues in their specialist fields.
PhD candidates in biblical disciplines are expected to have the ability to interact with their primary sources in the original languages (e.g. Hebrew or Greek) as well as with secondary material in the main research languages (English, French and German).
