This is an Oxford University diploma designed for those with a first degree in another discipline, who wish to study academic theology at degree level. Admission normally requires an upper second class degree. The course is also suitable for those who have completed a full course in theology at degree level but have not received a degree (e.g. some older certificate and diploma courses).
