Teaching
The MA Christian Studies course is delivered entirely by distance learning. The learning resources and contact with tutors and fellow students are provided on the internet through the University’s Virtual Learning Environment.

Masters: Three years
Those with a therapy background may be interested in exiting with a Postgraduate Certificate in Christian Studies by pursuing only the Christian Traditions and Christian Prayer and Spirituality modules. To achieve the Postgraduate Diploma, you need to complete four modules over two years. If you then wish to progress to the full Masters, you must complete a dissertation which will take an additional year.
Assessment
Assessment is mostly through coursework, submitted online. There are non-invigilated timed examinations for the Koine Greek Language module.
COURSE DETAILS
We regularly revalidate courses for quality assurance and enhancement
At USW, we regularly review our courses in response to changing patterns of employment and skills demand to ensure we offer learning designed to reflect today’s student needs and tomorrow’s employer demands.
If during a review process course content is significantly changed, we’ll write to inform you and talk you through the changes for the coming year. But whatever the outcome, we aim to equip our students with the skillset and the mindset to succeed whatever tomorrow may bring. Your future, future-proofed.
