New Testament MA (joint degree)

While St Andrews does not offer New Testament as a single Honours degree, you can take New Testament in combination with other subjects as part of a joint Honours degree. You instead may be interested in taking Biblical Studies MA (Old and New Testament) as a single Honours or joint Honours degree.

At St Andrews, the focus is on New Testament language and literature, though you can also take additional classes in Old Testament (Hebrew Bible) and Christian history and theology.

Modern teaching methods in language study are used to help beginners. And for those with an existing background in Greek, advanced language classes and textual classes in the original language are well provided for.

Entry requirements

The University offers different entry requirements, depending on your background. Find out more about Standard, Minimum and Gateway entry requirements using academic entry explained and see which entry requirements you need to look at using the entry requirements indicator.

For degrees combining more than one subject, the subject with the higher entry requirements determines the grades you need. You will also need to meet any further subject-specific entry requirements as outlined on their pages.

Do I need to have studied this subject before?

You do not need previous knowledge of Greek or biblical studies to apply.
