Theology and Social Justice (M.Phil. / P.Grad.Dip.)

Course Overview

Studying social justice in tandem with theology offers students a unique insight into how religious ideas shape and are shaped by the concrete social realities of the modern world. This course aims to combat poverty, climate change, racism, homelessness, misogyny, homophobia, sexism, ableism, ageism, and religious discrimination. Our premise is that where theology meets justice, hope meets action.

Admission to this course is at graduate level. Applicants will normally hold a good honours degree (minimum 2.1 or equivalent) in theology from a recognized university.

Applicants who have a primary degree in other disciplines will be considered.

Exceptional cases, where applicants do not fully meet the above criteria, but make a reasonable case for admissions otherwise, will be considered by the Dean of Graduate Studies.
