Candidates will take four units in total during Part I, each assessed by an extended essay of 7,000 words. The two core units are: Doctrine, Context and Practice; Experiential Project with Theological Reflection.Candidates will choose two further units from the following options: Sociology of Religion; Pastoral Psychology; Science and Faith in the Modern World; The Use of the Bible; Christian Spirituality; Liturgy and Worship; Christian Ethics; Mission in the Modern World; Inter-faith Dialogue; Ecclesiology in an Ecumenical Context The Doctrine, Context and Practice unit is taught by weekly classes on a Friday morning in Oxford.
