MTh/MTheol - Master of Theology
Biblical Studies (Christian) Religious Studies
Taught
This pathway is not presently available by online learning
This pathway is designed for graduates in theology who wish to pursue their studies in more depth. They follow a traditional pattern of attendance at college for seminars once or twice a week.
Once students have finished the taught stage they go on to work on their dissertation, whilst still receiving regular supervision from their dissertation tutor.
This pathway allows you to focus in depth on key elements of biblical interpretation and themes in classic and contemporary Christian theology.
Assessment
Students are assessed in a variety of ways such as essays and projects totalling up to 8000 words per unit. There are three compulsory units: Theological Enquiry and Interpretation at the beginning of the course; Biblical Hermeneutics; and, at the end of the course, Theological Research which, forms a preparation for the dissertation. The latter unit is assessed by a dissertation proposal. The only examinations are for the optional units on the biblical languages Hebrew and Greek, offered to students with a good level of prior knowledge, subject to a sufficient cohort size.
Exit qualifications
Students who complete 60 credits can obtain a Postgraduate Certificate; students who complete Part One (120 credits) can receive a Postgraduate Diploma without attempting the dissertation (Part Two).
