Summary

Study religion and disability online with experts in Disability Theology. Join our renowned department of Divinity and Religious Studies for a flexible Masters programme that’s ideal CPD for faith leaders.

Join an online Masters in Theology that explores disability studies from a theological perspective. The experience of disability opens a fresh space for re-thinking and re-narrating what it means to be human. Our Masters in Theology and Disability assumes that the form of human difference some choose to name ‘disability’ is a key to new transformative ways of looking at humanity and the nature of the good life. MTh Theology and Disability draws on expertise from:

  • the Centre for Spirituality, Health and Disability, and

  • the Centre for Autism and Theology.

Join us online to study at your own pace with highly experienced Disability Theology scholars, and students from around the world.

Who can join this online Masters in Theology? This distance-learning Theology degree is aimed at anyone interested in approaching questions of disability and what it means to be human from a theological perspective. While the dominant religious perspective is Christian, students of all faiths and none are welcome.

It’s ideal CPD (Continuous Professional Development) for leaders of religious communities, and professionals working in faith communities and organisations. It’s also excellent preparation for pursuing PhD studies in Disability Theology.
