Postgraduate Postgraduate MA801 Research Methods in Applied Theology
MA801 Research Methods in Applied Theology Cource Description
Designed to support postgraduate students in developing a research project in Applied Theology, and to assist them in defining their mode of enquiry. The first part focuses on students identifying a research programme using their own professional, voluntary, or pastoral practice, as the foundation. The second part looks at a range of theoretical perspectives on research. The third part of the course moves onto specific operational aspects of the research process. Throughout this course students are exposed to structures that provide both practical and spiritual support for the researcher. In light of this students will develop their own supportive research environment.
