Course Description
Our MA in Christian Theology (Anglican Studies) will enable you to explore fully the ethics, philosophy and history of Anglican theology and study how the consistent account of its doctrines has influenced the broader Christian landscape.
You will have the opportunity to study the Anglican tradition from historical and church perspectives in a department with well-established and hugely beneficial links to Durham Cathedral which, through the ages, has been the seat of a number of theologian bishops.
The course will consist of a core module that will look at classic texts in Christian theology as well as a dissertation and a range of optional modules, from liturgy and sacramentality through ecclesiology and ethnography to Paul and his Interpreters.
The status and reputation of the Department in the historic city of Durham offers unparalleled resources for study enabling you to fulfil your aim to learn more and think more about theology and religion.
Core modules:
Classic Texts in Christian Theology provides a detailed introduction to significant texts from the history of Christian theology enabling you to develop your understanding of the nature, goal and tasks of such a body of thinking. It also supports the growth and development of your knowledge of the research methods and approaches to the subject.
The Dissertation consists of a 12,000-15,000-word written project through which you will develop a thorough comprehension of a particular subject and build your skills in researching, analysing and bringing together various texts, data, ideas and arguments related to its theological and religious elements.

Graduates of other disciplines who have studied at undergraduate or equivalent level in one or more of the areas in which they hope to work, through their first degrees, through training for the ministry of the churches, and so on.
Students from overseas universities who have successfully reached a point in their theological studies comparable with completion of a British BA at the standard noted above - for example, on the German model, passing the Zwischenprüfung or Kolloquium and two semesters at the Hauptseminar level.
