Postgraduate

RESEARCH ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

Normally you should have a good Honours degree (2:1 or above for the MTh, MPhil and PhD) in a theological, biblical or related subject. If you have taken a second theological degree (e.g. a British MA in Biblical or Theological Studies) you will find yourself much better equipped for a research degree.

If your degree is in some other discipline, you may be considered if you can show evidence of suitable formal theological education. Work experience can be considered in place of qualifications in some circumstances.

Candidates registered for the MTh or the MPhil whose work proves to be of the appropriate standard may (with the agreement of their supervisor(s) and the Director of Research) transfer to PhD registration.

Entry requirements similar to the MTh and MPhil apply for the PhD. As is normal in UK universities, you will initially be registered for ‘MPhil with a view to PhD’ or ‘PhD subject to confirmation’. Formal transfer to PhD registration normally takes place when you are about a year (of full-time study) away from its completion.

Those seeking registration with qualifications other than those indicated above should write to the Postgraduate Registrar at London School of Theology, giving full details of their qualifications and (where appropriate) providing photocopies of relevant transcripts.
