Master of Studies (M.St.)

The M.St. is a one-year degree which offers the opportunity to specialise in
a particular but broad area of enquiry. Candidates usually take two or three
examination papers and submit a 10,000 to 15,000 word essay on a research
topic approved by their Faculty Board. Candidates for the M.St. in Theology
may specialise in Old Testament, New Testament, Christian Doctrine, Church
History, or Ethics. Teaching for the M.St. through tutorials and seminars
also introduces students to the skills needed for graduate research.


Master of Philosophy (M.Phil.)

The M.Phil. is a two-year degree which involves written examination in 3 or
4 papers and the submission of a 20,000 - 30,000 word thesis on which the
candidate is examined orally. Teaching is again by a mix of lectures,
classes, seminars and tutorials. In addition to the M.Phil. in Theology
there is also an M.Phil. in Philosophical Theology.
Doctor of Philosophy (D.Phil.)
The D.Phil. is a research degree normally completed in 3 years. There are no
preliminary examinations, but successful applicants are first accepted as
Probationer Research Students (PRS); their progress is then assessed when
they apply to be registered as a D.Phil. student (usually in their third or
fourth term, depending on the advice of their supervisor). The degree is
awarded on the basis of a 100,000 word thesis on which the student is
examined orally. Supervisors are appointed directly by the Board of the
Faculty of Theology.
