Masters in Philosophy in London in United Kingdom. Assessment: Thesis of up to 65,000 words (40,000 words for students starting after January 2014) and oral examination (viva) Who is it for? Like the MTh, the degree is aimed at those who have already completed formal theological training - they might be theology graduates, ministers, missionaries, Religious Education teachers, or business people as well as potential PhD students. Summary LST offers research supervision for the MPhil degree in collaboration with Middlesex University, which awards the degree. For an MPhil you need to offer a careful and critical investigation and evaluation of an approved topic, and demonstrate an understanding of the research methods appropriate to your chosen field. Your thesis does not need not to be ‘original’; however, it must offer a distinctive independent contribution to knowledge, including the ability to critique new ideas and a sense of proportion in evaluating evidence and scholarly interpretations which is ultimately worthy of publication. While you would normally be expected to read the language of your primary sources for an MPhil, you would not be expected to engage with untranslated secondary literature. It is possible to transfer to PhD registration with the agreement of the supervisor(s) and the Director of Research Recent MPhil theses - Rosemary Ashley, An Investigation into Authority in the Church from a Biblical Perspective - Katarina Almonte, The link between Charismatic Experiences and Revelation in John’s Gospel - Berhane Asmelash, The History of the Khatmiyyah Tariqah of Eritrea and the Impact...
