Research degrees guide you through an independent study 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. 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.
