What will I learn?

This course is designed for students who already have a theology degree and now wish to pursue their studies in more depth.

For those studying on campus in London: 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.

For those studying by online learning: They study on Friday afternoons in term time via live zoom lectures, and listen to the postgraduate seminar online at another convenient point in the 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 enables you to take units from the entire field of theological studies, including practically orientated units.

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, 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).
