The University campus is extremely pleasant and offers a wide range of facilities, both academic and recreational. Approach The MA programme in Theology at Exeter reflects a decision by the department to concentrate on providing an in-depth, focused and critical MA in Theology. It is our intention that students will emerge from the MA programme with a much fuller knowledge of the Christian tradition and an appreciation of the latest academic research in their chosen fields of study. Each member of staff will teach a module in alternate years in fields that are most closely associated with their own research interests, a system that has the additional benefit that students become acquainted with the latest research in the areas they are studying. In addition all students undertake a short module in research methodology which provides an invaluable introduction to the methods and resources essential for post-graduate study and research.
All teaching takes place in small groups which facilitates discussion and debate.
The department also organises a programme of postgraduate seminars and study days, which act as a focus and stimulus for the research of both postgraduate students and the staff of the department. The MA programme consists of a combination of modules and a dissertation with credit values totalling 180 credits. A range of options will be available each year, though which of them actually run may depend to some extent on student choice. A module presenting ethical theories which students can test practically or relate to their wider understanding of religion and society. The course aims to provide tools for moral reasoning and to help students explore and evaluate ethical traditions.
