The School of Divinity offers both single and joint honours options.
- MTheol
- MA Biblical Studies
- MA Theological Studies
- MA Joint Honours
- Biblical Studies + another subject
- Theological Studies + another subject
- New Testament + another subject
- New Testament + another subject
- Hebrew + another subject
- BD (only available if you already have an undergraduate degree)
Which programme is for you?
The MTheol is the best choice if you want to focus your University career on topics directly related to theological and biblical studies.
If you want a wider range of options across Arts subjects, but still want to give most of your attention to divinity, then either the MA (Biblical Studies) or the MA (Theological Studies) is the degree for you.
Should you have academic interests that straddle both divinity and another subject area then one of the Joint Honours options would suit you best. If you already have an undergraduate degree then the shorter BD degree, with its focus on theological and biblical studies would be ideal, especially if you are considering service within a Christian denomination.
