It involves extensive independent study and the opportunity to undertake and present original research at an advanced level.<br/><br/>This degree offers access to a wide variety of experienced specialists in many different fields of theology and religion, including the study of the world religions; biblical studies; science and religion; ecclesiastical history; systematic theology; ethics; patristics, and philosophical theology. Recent research topics have included, among many other projects, a study of devotion to the infant Jesus in early Christianity; an exploration of trauma in film and the theology of memory; a study of classical Hinduism and environmentalism. Students develop an extensive range of research skills and expertise in their chosen field of research.<br/><br/>Students admitted to the DPhil will often have acquired one of the Faculty of Theology and Religions MSt or MPhil degrees within their area of research, ie theology, religious studies or another closely-related field. Students in possession of a Masters degree from another institution may have this requirement waived. The Faculty of Theology and Religion considers such waivers on a case-by-case basis and may advise applicants to consider an MSt or MPhil degree in their initial application to the University.<br/><br/>DPhil students become part of an active and vibrant community of graduate research students within the Faculty of Theology and Religion. DPhil students are encouraged to attend and contribute to a wide range of research seminars, workshops and conferences held within the faculty and across the wider Humanities Division. They are also encouraged to attend and participate in the faculty’s professional development sessions, preparatory teaching workshops and graduate teaching training scheme.<br/><br/>**Part-time study**<br/>Please note that part-time study requires prior arrangement with a potential supervisor about time spent in Oxford.
