MA in Catholic Theology by Distance Learning

This course is designed to be completed flexibly. There is an annual 2-3 day Residential in Durham, but otherwise the MA is taught at distance. All modules are asynchronous, allowing students to work through the course in different time zones and at times suiting their work, caring, and other obligations.

This course allows students to go deeply into individual figures, periods, themes, and areas in Catholic Theology.
