Theology and Religious Studies (Research)

The Masters by Research in Theology and Religious Studies enables students to undertake individual, supervised research in any of the subject areas in the School of Divinity that are also represented in our PhD programmes:

• Hebrew and Old Testament Studies

• New Testament and Christian Origins

• History of Christianity

• Systematic Theology

• Ethics and Practical Theology

• World Christianity

• Science and Religion

• Religious Studies

• Islamic Studies and Christian-Muslim Relations

As a student on the Masters by Research programme you will conduct short research essays in coordination with some of our masters courses, as well as a longer dissertation with the guidance of a dedicated supervisor.

The degree can be undertaken as a valuable qualification in its own right, or as excellent preparation for doctoral research.
