Postgraduate Programmes

Postgraduate Programmes

All Heythrop’s MA programmes are available for study either full-time or part-time. If you choose to study full-time, you will complete in one calendar year (September to September) whereas parttimers complete in two years. The timetable is arranged so that full and part-time students work together. The majority of classes are in the evening, but there are exceptions in some of the programmes. You are likely to find the range of experience of other students a real benefit both to your learning and to your enjoyment.

Each MA is made up of four modules and a dissertation on a topic which you choose, with the approval of a supervisor.

All students register initially for the MA. However, if you are unable to complete the full MA, you may be eligible for a Postgraduate Diploma (based on four modules without the dissertation) or sometimes a Postgraduate Certificate (based on two modules – usually two specific modules).
