Both pathways Applicants who do not meet the standard entry qualifications, or who do not have a higher education qualification in theology, will be assessed by the submission of a written assignment set by the College (typically a 3000-word essay), evidence of relevant experience, and an interview. The assignment will be marked according to typical criteria for graduate level work, by a member of the College academic staff. Taken together with other evidence and interview, the College will determine whether the applicant has the necessary academic potential for postgraduate study of theology, i.e. competency in theological knowledge, understanding and critical thinking skills.
