Course summary

The Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip) in Applied Theology is designed to enable theological reflection upon experience in pastoral practice in the context of ministry in the Church. It may be taken if you hold a pastoral appointment at present, or if you are able to include a period of approved pastoral experience in your course of study for the PGDip.

Attendance

This course can be studied full-time or part-time with both modes requiring attendance in Oxford. Full-time students are subject to the University's Residence requirements.

The full-time course is studied over one year. The part-time course has the same requirements, but is studied over two years.

If studying part-time, you may be non-residential but you must attend classes and seminars in Oxford on at least one day each week of term, sometimes more, during your first year. Colleges may offer further seminars for their Applied Theology students and expect attendance. It is strongly advised that you live within commutable distance of Oxford (UK).
