About this course
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.
The Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip) in Applied Theology consists of either one year of full-time study, during which students must be resident in Oxford, or two years of part-time study. If studying part-time, you may be non-residential but you must attend classes and seminars in Oxford on one day each week (currently Fridays) during at least your first year. Colleges may offer further seminars for their Applied Theology students.

Extended essays for particular units will be supervised by an individual tutor. There is a balance of supported learning and independent research.
