Join a timely debate about the role of Christian faith and theology in the contemporary world. This Masters degree is taught by Cambridge Theological Federation and accredited by ARU.
Throughout this course you'll be supported to:
gain an in-depth understanding of some areas of theological and philosophical discourse in the contemporary academy church and society. For instance what is the relationship between faith and reason?
develop a critical understanding of the interaction between secularization and global shifts in the growth and decline of Christianity
develop theological skills to interpret the world from a theological perspective. For instance how can Christian theology approach ecological issues? How are we to understand the central Christian virtue love in the 21st century? What is the most promising approach to ecumenism in contemporary theology?
explore in detail some issues of theological significance for the contemporary context.
The normal entry requirement for postgraduate courses at Cambridge Theological Federation (CTF) is a first- or good second-class honours degree in a relevant subject. Examples would include Ethics Philosophy Theology or other related subjects.
The CTF will also consider graduates in other disciplines who may also be admitted to the programme on a case-by-case basis. The CTF will also take seriously on a case-by-case basis applications from candidates without an appropriate undergraduate degree who can demonstrate significant relevant experience such as in professional or ministerial roles especially for candidates who have not had the opportunity to engage in formal higher education before.
Shortlisted applicants will be interviewed by the House they have applied to. The CTF reserves the right not to admit applicants who do not satisfactorily demonstrate their motivation or ability to fit into the learning community of the chosen Federation House. Applicants can only be admitted if the interview confirms their teachability and if there is clear indication that they are able to establish and maintain meaningful learning relationships with their tutors and fellow students.
Following the course our hope is that you will be able to contribute to social transformation through continued critical reflection and engagement with personal organisational and public values and ethics.
