Ethics and Practical Theology Doctor of Philosophy - PhD

This PhD programme covers the study of public and political theology, theology and ethical theory, and contemporary ethical issues. Staff specialisms include theology and politics; womanist and feminist theology; environmental and animal ethics.

Research degrees guide you through an independent research project that you have proposed. Your supervisor(s) will work with you to establish the resources that you need for the successful conclusion of your degree. 

This will probably include attending suitable courses (not for credit) in the School of Divinity or the wider university.

Once you have a research project or research area in mind, you should contact a relevant member of academic staff to discuss it (see the Research Supervisor section below). In order to be accepted onto the PhD programme you will need to demonstrate both that you are ready for PhD study and that you have a research topic that fits with the available supervision.
