About the course
The Master of Studies (MSt) in Theology is offered in many areas of theology, such as Biblical Interpretation, Christian Doctrine, Christian Ethics, Ecclesiastical History, New Testament studies and Old Testament studies. Students of Christian Doctrine specialise in one of two areas. Patristic Theology or Modern Theology. You will be part of an active and vibrant community of graduate students within the Faculty of Theology and Religion.
The degree offers an intensive period of advanced study in a chosen field, with rigorous training in relevant research methods. It offers the opportunity to gain specialist knowledge of distinct topics within the field of study and includes an element of scholarly research and writing which can constitute part of the training for a future research degree.
The course is taught through a combination of core lectures and/or seminars and regular meetings with your supervisor, either one-to-one or in a very small group. Attendance at other lectures and seminars may be recommended or required. The topics being studied will normally be covered during the first two terms.
You learn to analyse and evaluate both primary and secondary literature, how to select the most significant materials, and combine them to form a structured argument. You also develop the habits of critical questioning, clear exposition, and objective evaluation.
The number of students studying in each subject area varies between individual disciplines but is usually small, allowing teaching to be tailored to the needs and interests of each student.
Students are encouraged to attend and participate in research seminars in their subject area. There are regular research seminar series in the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible, New Testament, Patristics, Modern Theology, Church History and Christian Ethics. Other research seminars of interest are hosted by other faculties and regular seminars, colloquia, and conferences are organised by the interdisciplinary research centres affiliated to the Faculty.
Assessment
The MSt degree is awarded on the basis of two short essays of up to 5,000 words each, a written exam of three hours in duration, and a dissertation of up to 15,000 words in Trinity term. These assessments may require a demonstration of linguistic competence according to your field of study. There may be an oral examination (viva voce) on your dissertation topic and wider knowledge of your field of study.
Graduate destinations
Students who leave the University of Oxford with graduate degrees in theology enter a variety of careers all around the world. Over half of those who gain an MSt or MPhil proceed to further, usually doctoral study. Others progress to professional employment as, for example, lawyers, school teachers, civil servants, or parliamentary research assistants, or go on to work with non-governmental organisations or in the media and journalism.
