This innovative MPhil option is an exciting way to learn about, and reflect on, the Quaker past, present, and future, whilst also conducting some in-depth research. It suits those who want a systematic approach to Quaker history and theology but who also want to work on an extended piece of research on their own with the support of their supervisor.
The aim of the programme is to give you a comprehensive understanding of Quakerism, theologically, historically, and sociologically, and to offer you the training for future research while standing alone in its own right. The programme is also an ideal stepping stone to a doctoral research degree and it is possible to transfer from the MPhil (B) to a PhD programme.
This is a research degree that includes taught components from the corresponding MA programme, where applicable; it may be followed as an end in itself, but also provides an excellent foundation for subsequent doctoral research. Structured training in research methods is also given and you are expected to complete a 20,000-word thesis.
