Course content

The MLitt in Theology and the Arts is a one-year taught programme run by the Institute for Theology, Imagination and the Arts (ITIA), part of the School of Divinity.

The course is designed to provide a broad introduction to postgraduate work in the field of theology and the arts. It can be taken as self-contained programme of study or as a grounding for those intending to pursue doctoral research in this field.

Highlights

• A unique training programme for artists wishing to reflect on the theological dimensions of their work, and for theologians wishing to explore the place of art within theological thought and practice.
• An ideal stepping stone towards the Institute's PhD programme, which centres on a three-year independent research project.
• An opportunity to engage with diverse forms of culture from different historical periods, including literature, drama, the visual arts and music.
