The MTh is divided into two parts. Part I is one year of taught study when full-time students must be resident in Oxford and part-time students must attend classes in Oxford once a week.
In Part II of the MTh, you will write a dissertation on an agreed topic in practical theology. This dissertation can be completed part-time with no requirement to be permanently resident in Oxford.
The MTh may be taken either full-time (residential) in two years, or part-time in three or four years. You may transfer from full-time to part-time after the first year.Graduate destinations
