Our community comprises 450 students (undergraduate and postgraduate) and nearly 30 full-time academic staff, including internationally respected scholars in a wide range of specialisms. We welcome students from around the world, from religious and non-religious backgrounds, taking pride in our status as a renowned research centre in a broad spectrum of subject areas.

Top-rated research The School of Divinity has consistently scored exceptionally highly in the Research Assessment Exercise, the most recent assessment putting us among the best schools in theology, philosophical theology and religious studies in the UK. Our researchers currently boast the highest percentage of 4* scores (world-leading in terms of originality, significance and rigour) of any Scottish university in theology and religious studies. We have the largest number of divinity research-active staff in Scotland, and the third-largest in the UK. Overall, the RAE ranked us third in the UK with 85 per cent of our research activity judged internationally excellent or world-leading.

This programme aims to equip you with the scholarly disciplines necessary to make a lucid, informed and analytical contribution to current debates in ethical reflection. It offers an opportunity for disciplined reflection on human action, both individual and corporate, understood intentionally and drawing on authoritative Christian traditions of ethical teaching and reflection. It trains students to relate moral concepts to the foundational beliefs of Christianity, to analyse them with the aid of philosophical ethical concepts, and to explore the various fields of practical concern within the church and wider society.

You will be taught by leading academics whose research interests are in the fields of Hebrew Bible, Old Testament, New Testament, early Judaism and early Christianity. You will benefit from weekly seminars from senior specialists in biblical studies and related subjects, and the School’s Centre for the Study of Christian Origins.

There are a number of possible scenarios for language study and selections are made in consultation with the Programme Director. If you have only one year of previous study of a biblical language you may take either Intermediate Biblical Hebrew or Intermediate New Testament Greek. Optional courses You may choose two optional courses, which include: Hebrew and Aramaic Texts from Qumran; Hebrew Scripture Theology; Studies in Ancient Judaism; Textual Criticism in Biblical Studies; The Bible, Literature and Hermeneutics; New Testament Exegisis and Hebrew Bible Exegisis.

Programme description

Much of the recent debate surrounding ‘New Atheism’ has taken place within a poorly informed view of the history and philosophy of science and its relationship with religion. This dedicated programme aims to inform and engage with the debate in depth, looking at it from scientific, philosophical, historical, ethical and theological perspectives. It provides a strong grounding in these issues. The history of science is studied from ancient times through the modern scientific revolution, together with philosophical trends in our understanding of reality. The main areas of dialogue between science and religion are explored indepth, including cosmology, evolution, divine action and miracles, consciousness and the human person.

This flexible programme looks at the Christian past from a variety of perspectives – theological, philosophical and historical – and provides options for special study of themes from the early Church to modern times. Our aim is to enable you to understand and reflect critically upon the historical contexts in which Christian thought has developed. Our approach is interdisciplinary: instructors include historians, philosophers of religion and systematic theologians. Our work is enriched by the School’s guest lectures and regular research seminars in theology and ethics, and in the history of Christianity.

Programme structure This programme is run over 12 months full time (or 24 months part time). You will be taught mainly in small groups in a seminar setting. You will be given training in research methods and will receive individual supervision for your 15,000-word dissertation. Compulsory courses The History of Science and Religion in the Christian Tradition; Cosmos, Cell and Creator: Current Debates in Science and Religion; and Approaches to Research in Divinity and Religious Studies. Optional courses You will choose three further courses. Options include: Creation and Providence; Ecology, Ethics and Spirit; Philosophical Issues in Evolution; and Man and the Natural World in Enlightenment. You may also opt for optional courses from elsewhere in the University, at the discretion of the Programme Director and subject to availability.

Career opportunities The programme can be taken as preparation for a research degree, or can form useful preparation for a career in education, journalism, public policy, or the civil service, to name just a few.

Minimum entry requirements A UK 2:1 degree, or its international equivalent (www.ed.ac.uk/international/ country), in theology/religion or in a natural or human science.

English language requirements

Programme structure This programme is run over 12 months full-time (or 24 months part time). From September to April students will follow courses and are also given training in research methods.

“My time at New College was valuable and rewarding. All the resources a PhD student needs to complete a top-class project are available: a first-rate faculty who, in spite of their many responsibilities, take ample time for the student; substantial libraries on site and around the city; and a warm community that sharpens and challenges you personally and academically. Through these I gained knowledge and skills that are now critical to my daily work. My family and I felt at home at New College and in Edinburgh from the very beginning. In fact, we loved it so much that we returned to take up my current post at Rutherford House, and we have every intention of living out our years here. Study at New College is an experience not to be missed.”

Research at the School of Divinity The School of Divinity is home to a thriving research community. All of our academic staff are engaged in individual research and writing projects and many are also involved in collaborative projects with colleagues across the world. The large graduate school and the presence of visiting academics from around the world help ensure a diverse and stimulating research environment. All research students are assigned a primary and secondary supervisor. You are offered a training course in research methods, and are given conscientious supervision from your first weeks through to submission of your thesis. There are also special orientation events for international students. As a postgraduate researcher you can draw on the outstanding library resources of New College, the University of Edinburgh and the nearby National Library of Scotland. We offer research across six subject areas: History of Christianity; Religious Studies; Theology and Ethics; New Testament and Christian Origins; Hebrew and Old Testament Studies; and World Christianity.

Research collaborations The School of Divinity has collaborated with Yale University Divinity School since 1992, mounting the annual Yale-Edinburgh conference on the ‘History of the Missionary Movement and World Christianity’. Professor Mona Siddiqui is engaged with Georgetown University’s Berkley Centre for Religion, Peace and World Affairs, in a ‘Religious Freedom Project’ running until 2014 and involving joint papers and conferences. Dr David Reimer is a member of the executive committee of the ongoing Semantics of

Ancient Hebrew Database Project, coordinated from the University of Leiden and involving research partners from North America, Europe and Australia. We regularly host major lecture series by distinguished US scholars. In 2011 Professor Bruce McCormack of Princeton Theological Seminary delivered the Croall Lectures on ‘Abandoned by God: The Death of Christ in Systematic, Historical, and Exegetical Perspective’ and in 2012 Professor Richard B Hays, Dean, and George Washington Ivey Professor of New Testament at Duke Divinity School, North Carolina, delivered the Gunning Lectures on ‘Israel’s Scripture through the Eyes of the Gospel Writers’.

Research centres Our research is based across three centres, founded on a thriving 500-year tradition of creative thought.

Centre for the Study of World Christianity The Centre for the Study of World Christianity advances high-quality scholarship in Christianity as a polycentric faith, whose adherents are now far more numerous in the southern hemisphere – the majority world – than in Europe or North America. This is the primary postgraduate focus of the Centre. We seek to make a distinctive contribution to scholarly knowledge in all areas of the study of World Christianity through interdisciplinary research, teaching and publication. We offer outstanding resources to research students: we have our own research library of historic books and pamphlets on World Christianity and a unique and extensive archive of special collections in the history of World Christianity and the missionary movement, as well as a reading room.

Centre for Theology and Public Issues The Centre for Theology and Public Issues (CTPI) was founded in 1984 as the world’s first centre for research on public theology. CTPI promotes inspiring theological reflection on public life. The Centre provides a meeting place for theologians, social scientists, church leaders, policymakers and the broader public. CTPI has close connections with a wide range of local, national and international groups and organisations. Our recent focus areas include peace-building through the media arts; religion and ethics in the making of war and peace; the Millennium Development Goals and British religious art. The Centre is an active member of the Global Network for Public Theology. CTPI has hosted numerous conferences and published dozens of books, articles and papers. Subjects worked on include poverty and welfare, justice and the penal system, peace-building and international security, suicide and public health, finance and ethics, national identity, broadcasting, devolution and citizenship.

Centre for the Study of Christian Origins Established to promote research on the emergence of, and developments in, Christianity in the first three centuries of the Common Era, the Centre for the Study of Christian Origins has brought together researchers in the University of Edinburgh and beyond, so that research convergence can be identified and fostered. The Centre bridges the study of the New Testament and earliest Christianity and provides a means of linking interested scholars in several traditional disciplines, such as: New Testament/Christian origins, patristics, Roman history, archaeology, Second-Temple Judaism and palaeography. The Centre organises a variety of lectures, seminars and conferences. For further details please visit www.christianorigins.co.uk.

The programme may be taken as either a Master of Theology by Research or a Master of Science by Research. The difference is one of nomenclature only. Both involve research training and orientation courses, after which you may either research and submit a single dissertation of about 30,000 words, which comprises the remaining assessment for the degree, or you can take three further courses to provide appropriate background and preparatory study for the topic of your research, and then submit a dissertation of about 15,000 words.

Master of Philosophy (MPhil) The MPhil requires a minimum of two years’ full-time study. You will be provided with two supervisors. During the first year you will explore your chosen area of research and refine your proposal. After nine to twelve months a draft of a chapter or a partchapter will be submitted for discussion at a Review Board, together with a developed proposal for the whole thesis (of no more than 50,000 words). On the basis of progress-to-date, and the prospects for the research, the Review Board will make a recommendation on the continuation of studies, for which your programme may be confirmed as MPhil status or, exceptionally, promoted to PhD status.

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Research towards a PhD requires a minimum of three years’ full-time work under the guidance of two supervisors. For PhD study we look for a proven ability to sustain independent research under supervision, normally in the form of a masters degree involving a dissertation. Since in the British model of doctoral studies there is little formal coursework, and the time available is limited to four years, we look for a substantial degree of preparation in any necessary adjunct skills, including languages. Competence in academic writing in English is also essential. Progress during the first year is monitored by an end-of-year Review Board at which a full, formal research proposal must be presented, along with a sample of work. The Board will make a recommendation based on its reading of your submission and an interview. You then proceed with your research, culminating in your 100,000-word dissertation.

Robert Rezetko PhD in Hebrew & Old Testament Studies, 2004 Assistant Professor, Old Testament Exegesis and Source Texts of Judaism, Faculty of Religious Studies, Radboud University Nijmegen, the Netherlands.

“My three years at the School of Divinity were fantastic. I found the postgraduate research environment to be personally and academically stimulating. Aspects of the programme that I appreciated the most were the accessibility and commitment of my supervisors, the excellent library resources and services, and the freedom to pursue my interests, even when they occasionally took me on lengthy but ultimately rewarding tangents. I am grateful to have worked with two recognised experts in their fields of research, Graeme Auld and Timothy Lim, who inspired me to analyse well-worn textual and linguistic data from new angles, and with a broader arsenal of methods, in order to develop better syntheses and more compelling explanations of the data. We – my wife and children too – will forever remember fondly our time in Edinburgh.”

We offer two types of research degree at masters level, as well as PhD programmes.

How to apply To study at postgraduate level, we normally require that you hold a UK 2:1 degree in an appropriate subject, or its international equivalent, or have a qualification or experience accepted as equivalent. PhD applicants typically require a specialist postgraduate degree beyond their first degree. Research candidates are required to submit a research proposal. We strongly encourage all research applicants to make informal contact with a potential supervisor by email, before they submit a formal application, and this often includes emailing a draft research proposal. This allows the School to ensure the availability of facilities and expert supervision and is helpful to identify in advance any special conditions that the School may decide should apply to your proposed area of study. We also look at academic transcripts to see what

particularly relevant courses candidates may have done, in relation to the proposed research. A great number of our potential applicants are from overseas, which makes face-to-face visits difficult, but academic staff welcome contact by email and often have Skype conversations

Joining us from overseas International applicants are advised to check the University’s website to find out more about their visa options and our Integrated English for Academic Purposes (IEAP) programme. Please visit www.ed.ac.uk/ international/ieap.
