What will I learn?

The School also offers a two-year Master's degree (MPhil), and a one-year research Master's degree (MSt (Res)). The MPhil comprises the taught components of an MLitt in its first year, and a dissertation of about 40,000 words in the second. Find out more about the MPhil on its degree page. The MSt (Res) is a full-time research project to write a dissertation of up to 30,000 words.

Entry requirements

For international students

The precondition of a good Masters degree applies for admission to the MSt (Res). But if applicants to the MSt (Res) do not have a good Masters degree and are not currently working towards one, the School of Divinity will consider admission if they have any of the following: a first-class undergraduate degree (or one with an A-range grade point average or the equivalent) in the relevant discipline; a writing sample and research proposal that the admissions committee judges to be equivalent to Masters-level work; other substantial evidence that convinces the application committee that the applicant is capable of research at the Masters level

*There may be different IELTS requirements depending on your chosen course.
