Master of Arts (Honours) – MA(Hons)

The Master of Arts (Honours) provides men and women with the opportunity to pursue advanced study in a theologically related discipline by research. It is designed for those who seek to further their study of a theologically related discipline for academic, vocational, professional and/or personal reasons. This award also offers training for further research at doctoral level. The Master of Arts (Honours) is available by thesis alone.

• acquire a deep understanding of a research problem in a specified theologically related discipline.
• contribute to public understanding of the problem being researched.
• employ appropriate methodologies in carrying out their investigation and present their case to the academic community in a sustained argument.
