This taught MA programme is distinctive both in subject-matter and in approach, offering an experience of study intermediate between that of a conventional coursework MA and the completely independent mode of study characteristic of a research degree. It gives students the freedom to work on essays and dissertations tailored to their particular interests, and to develop and exchange ideas within a community of like-minded individuals, including a number of students working for research degrees.

The study of mysticism and religious experience, centred in the broad field of religious studies, involves disciplines as diverse as philosophy, theology, psychology, parapsychology, anthropology, sociology, classics, history, literature, linguistics, art history, medicine and psychiatry.

This MA programme is available on a part-time basis only (over two years). Applications are welcome throughout the year. The academic year runs from late September to the middle of June. Dissertations are submitted at the end of August. Classes take place on Thursday afternoons, over two 12 week terms (September to March).
