MA in Christian Thought and Practice

Spurgeon's College

Spurgeon’s College offers a unique master’s course for which you don’t need a degree in Theology – a degree in another subject is sufficient. You do, however, need a good knowledge of English, the Bible and the Church. The course is validated by The University of Manchester.

Assessment

Students are assessed in a variety of ways such as essays and projects totalling up to 8000 words per unit. The two compulsory units are taught at the beginning and the end of the course: the first lays a foundation through exploring Theological Enquiry and Interpretation while the second, Theological Research, forms a preparation for the dissertation. The second unit is assessed by a dissertation proposal. The only examinations are for the optional units on the biblical languages Hebrew and Greek.

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).
