Introduction
Join a timely debate about the role of faith and belief, and acquire skills to interpret the world from a theological perspective. This Masters degree is taught by Cambridge Theological Federation and accredited by ARU. Throughout this course, you'll be supported to: gain an in-depth understanding of ethics and its applicability in a context of cultural and religious pluralism, learn the conceptual tools for insight into the processes of moral reasoning, development and decision making in private and public life, encounter a diversity of approaches, engaging critically with divergent views of the role of ethics in public life, relate the discourse of ethics to a wide range of contemporary personal, professional and public issues, undertake a detailed exploration of some issues of significance in the contemporary context.
The MA Contemporary Faith and Belief in the Global Context course is offered with a full-time workload (one year) or part-time (two years), and you'll study with Cambridge Theological Federation. You can choose to study in Cambridge or online (distance learning). There is also the option to study for one of two intermediate awards: a PG Cert and a PG Dip. Please note that to apply for this course, you must be a member of one of the Federation’s member institutions. Following the course, our hope is that you will be able to contribute to social transformation through continued critical reflection and engagement with personal, organisational, and public values and ethics.
