The Masters in Theology is an innovative postgraduate degree designed for those preparing for ministry. Taught in conjunction with the Church of Ireland Theological Institute, the course offers a distinctive learning experience based on the integration of the fields of Theology, Biblical Studies, and Christian Practice.

The course is thus framed around a clear interaction between both theory and practice and across a variety of areas of ministerial formation.
