The MA requires a prior degree of 2.1 level. This course is designed for students with degrees in theology. This entails residing in a given context for a year. The course seeks to develop the student's to engage critically and theologically with the experience of attachments. Alternative contexts may also be proposed.
Students take two four-week courses in Christian understanding of humanity and Eucharistic theology.
They also have a Pastoral Attachment and seven other modules from the range offered. These give the student the opportunity to tackle new subjects and to develop areas of special interest. The ThD is designed to provide the opportunity for students to reflect on their professional practice from a theological perspective. It is broadly-based so that people of any professional background may participate provided they have undertaken theological learning to the level of an undergraduate diploma. The ThD is also open to people of faith traditions other than Christian.
