What can you study here?

In-person MTh – Belfast: students at this Learning Community study the MTh over 3 years - six pre-allocated taught modules over two years (3 intensive fortnights per year: September, January & March), with an additional year to submit their dissertation. It is up to students how they spread their remaining study time. Essays for each module are due 7 weeks after the essay title is given. 

Students may substitute one module per year for an intensive campus-based module, attended in person at our South Wales Campus, or 3 weeks of Biblical Languages in person or via Zoom. Visit the MTh programme page for more details about programme content and MTh module rotations, Campus MTh schedule, and application deadlines.
