Program overview
As part of the honours degree, you will:
establish a strong foundation for higher degree research by learning more about research methods and strategies used in theology
explore in depth either a classical theological text or a substantial contemporary work
examine a key theological theme (creation, revelation, salvation, liberation) and/or specific moral or ethical question (global poverty, work, care for the environment, the family, forgiveness)
write a thesis that adds to the knowledge base of the discipline.
Aside from expanding your knowledge, a theology honours degree will give you an edge in an increasingly competitive job market. You will enhance your capacity across high-level research, as well as your writing and problem solving skills – highly transferable skills that employers have identified as the necessary skill-sets for sustaining a long, distinguished and personally rewarding career.
