MSt The Master of Studies (MSt) in Philosophical Theology offers graduates in either philosophy or theology the opportunity to undertake advanced study in a field bridging the two disciplines. The course is studied full-time, over nine months. With a tutor, you will study two areas of philosophical theology. You should select your two papers based on your previous qualifications, from the following list:
- Philosophy of religion;
- History of philosophical theology; or
- A more specialised area of theology, such as the development of Christian doctrine to 787.
- The philosophy of religion: The choice of subject varies from such standards as arguments for and against the existence of God, but also subjects in the philosophical analysis of Christian doctrines.
- The history of philosophical theology: You will select two periods from the options of patristic (Origen, Augustine), medieval (Anselm, Aquinas) and modern (Kant, Schleiermacher, Kierkegaard) philosophy.
- A specialism in either philosophy or theology: You may select a subject such as metaphysics and theory of knowledge, or the development of Christian doctrine to 787.
