Theology, Religion and Philosophy of Religion
专业详情
The course aims:
- to provide advanced teaching and training in research to postgraduate students in the theologies, scriptures, histories and philosophies, doctrines and practices of Christianity; and, as far as resources permit, of Judaism, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism, principally within their own traditions but also by means of comparative approaches;
- to provide high calibre students with an excellent education in these traditions which is informed by current developments in scholarship and research;
- to provide a stimulating environment in which students can reach their intellectual potential;
- to provide an integrated structure of learning and teaching;
- to help students develop a wide range of intellectual abilities and skills which will enable them to make a significant contribution in their chosen careers and walks of life, particularly training in academic research.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of the MPhil students should have acquired:
- an introduction to research methods and skills appropriate to a chosen sub-discipline of the subject, such as will serve both: as a preparation for more advanced research or as offering skills of value to potential employers;
- more advanced and specialised knowledge of some fundamental issues and literatures at the forefront of research in that sub-discipline; and
- the ability to construct a substantive, if preliminary, contribution to research on a particular issue within that sub-discipline, through the writing of a thesis.
