PhD 2007, Systematic Theology

Director of Rutherford House, Edinburgh

“My time at New College was valuable and rewarding. All the

resources a PhD student needs to complete a top-class

project are available: a first-rate faculty who, in spite of their

many responsibilities, take ample time for the student;

substantial libraries on site and around the city; and a warm

community that sharpens and challenges you personally and

academically. Through these I gained knowledge and skills

that are now critical to my daily work. My family and I felt at

home at New College and in Edinburgh from the very

beginning. In fact, we loved it so much that we returned to

take up my current post at Rutherford House, and we have

every intention of living out our years here. Study at New

College is an experience not to be missed.”

Research at the School of DivinityThe School of Divinity is home to a thriving research community. All of our academic staff are engaged in individual research and writing projects and many are also involved in collaborative projects with colleagues across the world.

The large graduate school and the presence of

visiting academics from around the world help

ensure a diverse and stimulating research

environment.

All research students are assigned a primary

and secondary supervisor. You are offered a

training course in research methods, and are

given conscientious supervision from your first

weeks through to submission of your thesis.

There are also special orientation events for

international students.

As a postgraduate researcher you can draw on

the outstanding library resources of New

College, the University of Edinburgh and the

nearby National Library of Scotland.

We offer research across six subject areas:

History of Christianity; Religious Studies;

Theology and Ethics; New Testament and

Christian Origins; Hebrew and Old Testament

Studies; and World Christianity.

Research collaborationsThe School of Divinity has collaborated with

Yale University Divinity School since 1992,

mounting the annual Yale-Edinburgh

conference on the ‘History of the Missionary

Movement and World Christianity’.

Professor Mona Siddiqui is engaged with

Georgetown University’s Berkley Centre for

Religion, Peace and World Affairs, in a ‘Religious

Freedom Project’ running until 2014 and

involving joint papers and conferences.

Dr David Reimer is a member of the executive

committee of the ongoing Semantics of

Ancient Hebrew Database Project, coordinated

from the University of Leiden and involving

research partners from North America, Europe

and Australia.

We regularly host major lecture series by

distinguished US scholars. In 2011 Professor

Bruce McCormack of Princeton Theological

Seminary delivered the Croall Lectures on

‘Abandoned by God: The Death of Christ in

Systematic, Historical, and Exegetical

Perspective’ and in 2012 Professor Richard B

Hays, Dean, and George Washington Ivey

Professor of New Testament at Duke Divinity

School, North Carolina, delivered the Gunning

Lectures on ‘Israel’s Scripture through the Eyes

of the Gospel Writers’.

Research centresOur research is based across three centres,

founded on a thriving 500-year tradition of

creative thought.

Centre for the Study of World Christianity The Centre for the Study of World Christianity

advances high-quality scholarship in Christianity

as a polycentric faith, whose adherents are

now far more numerous in the southern

hemisphere – the majority world – than in

Europe or North America. This is the primary

postgraduate focus of the Centre. We seek to

make a distinctive contribution to scholarly

knowledge in all areas of the study of World

Christianity through interdisciplinary research,

teaching and publication.

We offer outstanding resources to research

students: we have our own research library of

historic books and pamphlets on World

Christianity and a unique and extensive archive

of special collections in the history of World

Christianity and the missionary movement, as

well as a reading room.

Centre for Theology and Public IssuesThe Centre for Theology and Public Issues

(CTPI) was founded in 1984 as the world’s first

centre for research on public theology. CTPI

promotes inspiring theological reflection on

public life. The Centre provides a meeting

place for theologians, social scientists, church

leaders, policymakers and the broader public.

CTPI has close connections with a wide range

of local, national and international groups and

organisations. Our recent focus areas include

peace-building through the media arts; religion

and ethics in the making of war and peace; the

Millennium Development Goals and British

religious art. The Centre is an active member

of the Global Network for Public Theology.

CTPI has hosted numerous conferences and

published dozens of books, articles and

papers. Subjects worked on include poverty

and welfare, justice and the penal system,

peace-building and international security,

suicide and public health, finance and ethics,

national identity, broadcasting, devolution and

Centre for the Study of Christian OriginsEstablished to promote research on the

emergence of, and developments in, Christianity

in the first three centuries of the Common Era,

the Centre for the Study of Christian Origins has

brought together researchers in the University of

Edinburgh and beyond, so that research

convergence can be identified and fostered. The

Centre bridges the study of the New Testament

and earliest Christianity and provides a means of

linking interested scholars in several traditional

disciplines, such as: New Testament/Christian

origins, patristics, Roman history, archaeology,

Second-Temple Judaism and palaeography. The

Centre organises a variety of lectures, seminars

and conferences. For further details please visit

Research opportunitiesWe offer two types of research degree at masters level, as well as PhD programmes.

Masters by ResearchThese one-year masters degrees by research

are designed for students with an academic

training in divinity or religious studies (or other

relevant subjects) who wish to focus on a

particular topic. The programme may be taken

as either a Master of Theology by Research or

a Master of Science by Research. The

difference is one of nomenclature only. Both

involve research training and orientation

courses, after which you may either research

and submit a single dissertation of about

30,000 words, which comprises the remaining

assessment for the degree, or you can take

three further courses to provide appropriate

background and preparatory study for the

topic of your research, and then submit a

dissertation of about 15,000 words.

Master of Philosophy (MPhil)The MPhil requires a minimum of two years’

full-time study. You will be provided with

two supervisors. During the first year you will

explore your chosen area of research and

refine your proposal. After nine to twelve

months a draft of a chapter or a part-

chapter will be submitted for discussion at a

Review Board, together with a developed

proposal for the whole thesis (of no more

than 50,000 words). On the basis of

progress-to-date, and the prospects for the

research, the Review Board will make a

recommendation on the continuation of

studies, for which your programme may be

confirmed as MPhil status or, exceptionally,

promoted to PhD status.

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)Research towards a PhD requires a minimum of

three years’ full-time work under the guidance

of two supervisors. For PhD study we look for a

proven ability to sustain independent research

under supervision, normally in the form of a

masters degree involving a dissertation. Since

in the British model of doctoral studies there is

little formal coursework, and the time available

is limited to four years, we look for a substantial

degree of preparation in any necessary adjunct

skills, including languages. Competence in

academic writing in English is also essential.

Progress during the first year is monitored by

an end-of-year Review Board at which a full,

formal research proposal must be presented,

along with a sample of work. The Board will

make a recommendation based on its reading

of your submission and an interview. You then

proceed with your research, culminating in

your 100,000-word dissertation.

Robert Rezetko

PhD in Hebrew & Old Testament Studies, 2004

Assistant Professor, Old Testament Exegesis and Source Texts of Judaism, Faculty of Religious Studies, Radboud University

Nijmegen, the Netherlands.

“My three years at the School of Divinity were fantastic. I found the postgraduate research environment to be personally and

academically stimulating. Aspects of the programme that I appreciated the most were the accessibility and commitment of my

supervisors, the excellent library resources and services, and the freedom to pursue my interests, even when they occasionally

took me on lengthy but ultimately rewarding tangents. I am grateful to have worked with two recognised experts in their fields of

research, Graeme Auld and Timothy Lim, who inspired me to analyse well-worn textual and linguistic data from new angles, and

with a broader arsenal of methods, in order to develop better syntheses and more compelling explanations of the data. We – my

wife and children too – will forever remember fondly our time in Edinburgh.”

“I learnt about the scholarships through the scholarships and student funding section of the University’s website. The scholarships

have provided me with a wonderful opportunity to study at a premier institution. I wish to work in academia in the future and so

my PhD will provide me with the necessary training and qualification to allow me to meet my goals.”

How to applyTo study at postgraduate level, we normally require that you hold a UK 2:1 degree in an appropriate subject, or its international equivalent, or have a qualification or experience accepted as equivalent. PhD applicants typically require a specialist postgraduate degree beyond their first degree.

Research candidates are required to submit a

research proposal. We strongly encourage all

research applicants to make informal contact

with a potential supervisor by email, before

they submit a formal application, and this

often includes emailing a draft research

proposal. This allows the School to ensure the

availability of facilities and expert supervision

and is helpful to identify in advance any special

conditions that the School may decide should

apply to your proposed area of study. We also

look at academic transcripts to see what

particularly relevant courses candidates may

have done, in relation to the proposed

research.

A great number of our potential applicants are

from overseas, which makes face-to-face visits

difficult, but academic staff welcome contact

by email and often have Skype conversations

with potential students. Any applicant, from

the UK or abroad, who would like to come and

visit us is warmly welcomed.

Application processApplications for postgraduate study are made

online. Start with the degree finder to identify

your chosen programme at www.ed.ac.uk/

pg/degrees. The application process creates

an online account with us that means you do

not need to complete your online application

in one sitting – you can save your application

at any stage and resume the process at a

later time.

Joining us from overseasInternational applicants are advised to check

the University’s website to find out more

about their visa options and our Integrated

English for Academic Purposes (IEAP)

programme. Please visit www.ed.ac.uk/

international/ieap.

agents in the following locations: Brunei,

Canada, China, Gulf Region, Hong Kong, India,

Japan, Jordan, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Nigeria,

Norway, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South

Africa, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey,

Zambia and Zimbabwe. International

applicants can use an agent to help guide

them through the application process if

necessary. Contact details for all our agents

can be found at www.ed.ac.uk/studying/

international/agents.

Please note:

• English language requirements can be affected by government policy so please ensure you visit our website for the latest details. www.ed.ac.uk/english-requirements/pg/chss

• Your English language certificate must be no more than two years old at the beginning of your degree programme.
