Degree-level qualifications
As a minimum, applicants should hold or be predicted to achieve the following UK qualifications or their equivalent:
GRE General Test scores
Other examination results may be submitted alongside degree qualifications. If offered, the minimum Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores normally sought are 160 in verbal reasoning, 5.0 in analytical writing and 150 in quantitative reasoning.
Other qualifications, evidence of excellence and relevant experience
-
Knowledge of Hebrew and Greek is required for Old and New Testament respectively.
-
Most courses in the history of doctrine will require study of texts in languages other than English: Greek or Latin is required for patristic theology.
Further guidance
-
Progression to the DPhil in Theology relies on a strong performance in the taught course. The faculty would normally expect a final grade of 67% or above.
-
The Issues in Theology courses are suitable for students with a strong interest in a specific period of the history of Christian Theology, yet who currently lack the required language ability for entry into the faculty’s single-period courses. In each Issues in Theology course, the key theological texts are studied in English translation.
