This degree is awarded for research theses, not on the basis of general examinations. Guidance is therefore provided principally in the form of research supervision rather than formal teaching, though students registering for this degree will normally be expected to attend seminars designed for their needs.
The purpose of the MLitt degree is to assist someone to complete a shorter piece of research (maximum, 50,000 words) in Theology, and to demonstrate suitable academic attainments for appointment to positions which may include responsibilities for teaching and research.

Students admitted to the MLitt will normally be expected either to have already acquired the Faculty’s Master of Studies or Master of Philosophy degree within their area of research.

All applications for this course must be made to the University of Oxford first online at www.ox.ac.uk .

Choosing your college
On the graduate application form you may choose to either:

2. indicate that you have no college preference in which case a college will be selected on your behalf
You will not be able to amend your choice after submitting your application. Whether or not you state a college preference will not affect how your department assesses your application and ultimately whether or not they decide to make you an offer.  For further information please refer to the Application Guide at:
