This postgraduate degree offers the opportunity to explore most aspects of Islamic Studies, including Islamic history and philosophy and contemporary religious and political thought.

The MRes is a research degree that includes taught components (including taught courses from the corresponding MA programme where applicable); it may be followed as an end in itself, but also provides an excellent foundation for subsequent doctoral research. The programme comprises three 20-credit modules; you take a compulsory Research Methodology module, two optional modules, and complete a 20,000-word thesis.
