Take a Postgraduate module
Choose from a wide range of modules from our MA programme in Theology and Religious Studies.
Pursue your subject interests or professional development in a way that works for you. Choose from a wide range of modules from our MA Theology and Religious Studies. Benefit from the breadth of expertise of our staff and see if post-graduate study in Theology and Religious Studies is for you.
We offer a wide range of modules which you can apply to study on a free-standing basis. If you later apply successfully to study for a full MA, you can bring credit you’ve gained from the study of freestanding MA modules with you, so long as they map on to the programme’s modules. Please note: If you wish to go on to study on a full MA programme, and you apply successfully for a postgraduate loan, you will not be able to take academic credit from a free standing module into that MA programme.
Modules usually take place over a term (10 weeks), and are delivered in a variety ways: face to face in Chester, by residential or online through moodle, our Virtual Learning Environment. A list of the modules being offered is available here.
Assessment for each module (20 credits) is usually by a written essay of 4,000 words. The exceptions are double-weighted modules (40 credits).
For information about the cost of a postgraduate module, please see the University’s guidance on Postgraduate fees, here.
Please contact Dr Caroline Tee (Programme Leader, Theology and Religious Studies) for further advice.
