Postgraduate

The Department of Theology and Religion offers postgraduate students the opportunity to study in a world-class research centre.

A strong team of scholars is engaged here at the forefront of international research, and postgraduate students can both learn from and contribute to this dynamic research community.

The fields of research here explored are diverse but sufficiently coherent to create many opportunities for and cross-disciplinary (as well as single-disciplinary) studies. The Department houses strong teams of scholars in Old Testament and Related Studies, Judaism in Antiquity, New Testament and Related Studies, Christianity in Late Antiquity, Christianity in Early Modern and Modern Europe, Systematic Theology, Philosophical Theology and the Philosophy of Religion, the Study of Religion, Film and Religion, Theology and Ethics, Theology and Science, Catholic Studies, Anglican Studies, and the Study of Spirituality

The Department has strong international links, both in Europe and in North America, including a new reciprocal study arrangement with Duke University, North Carolina. The Department has consistently scored very highly (5) in the British Research Assessment Exercise.

We currently have a postgraduate student body of about 180 students at all levels engaged in research, most at Ph.D level and many from outside the U.K. There is thus a diverse, vibrant and supportive research environment, in which students learn much from each other, as well as from their research supervisors.

The Department of Theology and Religion is also offering four Academic Scholarships covering tuition fees up to £3,500 starting in October 2008.
