CTRC: Academic programmes
Print version
The main focus of the CTRC is on its research activities. However, CTRC staff are also involved in the construction, organisation and running of a number of related academic programmes within the department.
Doctoral research
We offer two routes within the department's doctoral research programme: the traditional MPhil/PhD route, and the taught Doctorate in Ministry (DMin). Both programmes may be followed on either a part-time or full-time basis.
