Program Overview

THL341 Guided Research in Theology

The principal purpose of this subject is to provide students intending to progress beyond the Bachelor of Theology to the Bachelor of Theology (Honours) or Master of Theology with an experience in guided research. As a result, enrolment in this subject requires the approval of the Subject coordinator. The subject facilitates the exploration of an approved topic in a chosen theological subdiscipline, to be determined in consultation with the Subject coordinator. Students are expected to demonstrate the use of appropriate methodology, research, writing and communication skills, normally through the preparation of a substantial essay.
