The MTh degree involves writing a 40,000 word thesis and does not include mandatory course attendance. The nature of the thesis is defined by the student’s research proposal and is written under the supervision of a relevant faculty member.
The MTh programme can be finished in 12 months of full-time study, or 24 months of part-time study, with completed theses assessed by viva voce examination. Distance-based students are expected to come to campus at least once a year for our annual postgraduate conference (normally held at the end of June), or more frequently at the discretion of their supervisor. Non-UK/EU students who wish to study residentially must secure a Tier 4 student visa.
For those called to serve the kingdom through scholarship at the highest levels, Trinity College offers two postgraduate research degrees: the Master of Theology (MTh) and the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). The expertise of the faculty, the confessional nature of the college, and our flourishing community of more than fifty postgraduate researchers make Trinity an excellent context in which to take one’s first steps into the academy.
Students may pursue a research degree full-time, part-time, in residence at Bristol, or by distance. Trinity’s research degrees are fully validated by the University of Aberdeen, an ancient Scottish university with a globally recognised reputation for excellence in the study of Christian theology.
Normally, the minimum entrance requirement for admission as a student for the research master’s is a degree with Second Class Honours (Upper Division) in an appropriate field, or its equivalent (e.g., 3.5/4.0 in a GPA system). Students are also expected to have facility in research languages requisite for the project proposed.
