Religious Studies (Research)

Combine your own research with insight from our advanced taught modules.
This course is ideal if you are passionate about a research topic in theology but:

• you want to develop your research skills or academic ability before committing to a PhD

• you cannot commit to three years or more of research

• your topic does not need three years of research
