Course Summary

Course Overview

The Master of Arts in Theology (Community Development and Social Change) pathway is aimed at students from a wide range of backgrounds, academic traditions and spiritualities, who have a critical curiosity and a sense of call to both understand and have an impact on their world, through faith based community development.

The programme will offer the opportunity to enjoy a unique learning experience where teachers and fellow learners explore crucial issues of our time, drawing on insights and traditions of theology and community development to develop a deep and grounded analysis of the world, in order to engage in its transformation. We hope future-students will explore new ways to re-see and reimagining their world and their relationship to it and in doing so, develop approaches that help others to re-see and reimagine their own worlds. This spiritual, philosophical, political and practical journey is both deeply personal and intentionally collective.

Entry requirements

Candidates for the Master of Arts degree must normally have a good honours degree in a relevant subject to be admitted to the course. Those who hold a good honours degree in a non-theological discipline may be asked to complete NTC’s pre-MA foundational course as a bridge into the MA in Theology (Community Development and Social Change). Students are referred onto this programme as part of the MA in Theology (Community Development) admissions process. Those who do not have the formal qualifications necessary to gain entry directly on to the MA courses are able to apply to the Postgraduate Diploma or Certificate. The Diploma is identical to the MA in all aspects except that the PGDip does not require the completion of a dissertation and it does not require the same standards of achievement. The Postgraduate Certificate requires completion of TWO taught units (60 credits) including required unit(s), does not require the completion of a dissertation and it does not require the same standards of achievement. Students who wish to progress on to complete the MA may do so, provided they have performed at the required level.
