MTh in Applied Theology
Course Description
The Master of Theology (MTh) in Applied Theology is a qualification offered by the University of Oxford. Applicants should have a university qualification in theology, normally a first degree of at least upper second class. Part one is assessed by four long essays of 7,000 words, in range of subjects which apply Christian theology to aspects of contemporary society and Church life. Details can be found here. Part two is assessed by dissertation of between 15,000 and 20,000 words. Each part may be undertaken either full-time (one year each) or part-time (two years each). Candidates who finish after part one will be awarded the Postgraduate Diploma in Applied Theology. There is no residency requirement for part-time candidates.
The course is taught by lectures, classes and tutorials, both in-house and across the university. Core teaching for Part I is provided on one day a week (currently Friday) during full term.
The MTh is regulated by the MTh Studies Committee, made up of members of the Board of the Faculty of Theology and members of staff from the institutions offering the degree.
