The central philosophy of this degree is that theology at its best is an intensely practical subject. It is grounded in society. It takes its clues from society and in turn attempts to mould society. Faith shapes practice and practice shapes faith. In exploring this two way relationship theology brings together the skills of philosophical theology with those of the social sciences. Through this relationship applied theology looks to the fresh and creative ways in which theological vision can transform everyday life.

This taught Master's degree in Applied Theology, the first of its type in the South East, is designed specifically to bring together the various skills that make up Applied Theology.

All those taking part will take the foundation course in the first year: Theology and Social Structure. In their first or second year they will take one of the MA courses offered by the Board of Religious Studies and a further course in social science or politics. These courses are all examined by extended essays. A dissertation, mapped around the specific interests of individuals, will seek to bring these various skills together.
