The MA in Theology, Ministry and Mission provides continuing professional development at an advanced level of attainment for laity and clergy who desire to study at postgraduate level. The aim of the programme is to deliver learning and teaching that enables students to pursue academically rigorous and research-facing engagement with a range of disciplines within theology, ministry and mission. The MA in Theology, Ministry and Mission provides pathways of study that meet diverse professional and vocational criteria and a firm basis from which to pursue postgraduate research in theology, ministry and mission. It is open to the questions and insights generated by engagement with research and thinking at the forefront of specialised areas of study and professional practice in theology, ministry and mission; it assumes a willingness to be transformed by them. In this programme, one hones the critical skills and disposition needed to go forth in the church and the world with the light of Christian theology as a passionate, articulate and prayerful disciple.
This programme has two required modules: Research and Reflection: Sources and Methods and the Dissertation. The remaining modules can be chosen from the diverse range of modules offered at level 7 (MA level) each year.
Students usually choose this course part-time over 3 or 4 years. This allows for two or three taught modules per year and one year for the dissertation. Studying at a faster pace is possible if not engaged in full-time work.
