Theology & Religious Studies Research

You are encouraged to contact a potential supervisor before applying to discuss your proposed research project (see Staff and Groups section). Admission to our research programmes will initially be for the MPhil but we expect students to transfer to the PhD after an appropriate period, by agreement with their supervisor and the Departmental Postgraduate and Research Committee.

Please provide here, or on separate sheets of paper, a research proposal of between one paragraph and two sides of A4 paper in length.

One scholarship awarded two out of every three years by the King's Theological Trust to a student from a country where the opportunity to pursue a theology degree is not normally available and for whom sources of finance are not available. The student must already have been accepted to study in the department and, if awarded, the scholarship is for the duration of full time study of a research degree, subject to satisfactory progression. The Trust additionally makes a number of minor grants to students. Two Walton Scholarships (approximately £4,500 each year), normally awarded to one full time MA student and one full time research Two "welcome" bursaries of £2,000 each for students who commence MPhil/PhD research in an area of Jewish Studies in the Department of Theology & Religious Studies at King's in the academic year 2012-2013. Otherwise AHRC, Graduate School and School of Arts & Humanities scholarships and bursaries, self-funded.
