Structure OF THE PROGRAMME
Our uniquely designed MPhil in Theology programme (NQF Level 9), with its strong interdisciplinary and ecumenical emphases, is rooted in the Catholic Intellectual Tradition. It seeks to contribute to the growth and development of that Tradition from a specifically South African perspective.
While working out of the Catholic Tradition, our faculty members are ecumenically open and contextually sensitive. Many of our guest lecturers represent other Christian confessions. The programme is not limited to Catholic participants; over the past years it has attracted students from many denominations, including those preparing for ministry, mainly (but not only) Anglicans. Theology at St Augustine is faith seeking understanding together, in dialogue. By joining St Augustine, you become a member of a small but vibrant academic family. Our MPhil in Theology programme is unique also in its balanced approach to faith and reason, engaging the two major sources for theologising: Scripture-inTradition and human experience. This holistic and well-integrated approach to Theology is reflected in the design of our teaching curriculum, which includes biblical, philosophical, fundamental, constructive, ethical, spiritual and pastoral components. To be “Catholic” in an academic context means to search for the “truth running through everything”, and at St Augustine we indeed mean “everything.” Whether you are a priest, minister, religious person, teacher, coordinator of parish catechetics, youth leader, lay person involved in pastoral work or you are simply interested in deepening your understanding of the Christian faith, our two-year MPhil degree in Theology may be exactly what you are searching for!
ELIGIBILITY FOR ADMISSION Satisfactory performance of an Honours degree with a research component. Applicants may also apply through recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). It need not be in an area directly related to Theology. DEGREE STRUCTURE The degree requires 7 taught modules and a subsequent research paper of 18 000 words under the supervision of a lecturer.
