Overview

The MLitt in Bible and the Contemporary World at the University of St Andrews is a part-time online programme aimed at both lay people seeking personal development and clergy seeking continued professional development.

Highlights

Gain an understanding of how public issues and culture both shape and are shaped by Christian theology, biblical interpretation and practice.

Join an international and interdenominational group of students, most of whom are lay people.

A residential study week in St Andrews starts each module with lectures and seminar discussions and allows you to meet your fellow participants and tutors.

Opens possibilities for future doctoral work in fields such as practical theology or for those who seek to deepen their critical thinking in careers (often in the voluntary sector) that have a religious dimension.
