Postgraduate taught courses in Divinity

The School offers a range of one-year, full-time taught postgraduate programmes:

All of these programmes involve taught modules over the academic year, and a final 15,000-word dissertation. 

The School also offers an online taught postgraduate course, which may be taken as a Postgraduate Diploma (coursework only) or an MLitt (coursework and dissertation):

The MLitt is an ideal stepping stone for doctoral studies, as well as an excellent free-standing training course for graduates, professionals, and those in church ministry.

The School also offers a two-year MPhil degree, comprising the taught components of an MLitt in its first year, and a dissertation of about 40,000 words in the second.
