'The ATQ is designed for qualified secondary teachers with recent teaching experience who meet the current PGCE (Secondary) entry requirements and who wish to train to teach an additional subject.' (Religious Education is one of the subjects offered.)
Divinity
BD
Full time: 3/4 years
'The BD is designed for students who wish to concentrate on the Christian tradition in their studies.'
'The courses leading to the BD normally take four years, but students who already possess a degree may graduate after three years of study.'
'The BTh is designed to be less structured than the BD. It provides greater opportunities to take courses in Religious Studies and to combine the study of theology and religion with some subjects offered outwith the School of Divinity and Religious Studies. It is appropriate to the needs of those intending to teach Religious and Moral Educaion in secondary schools.'
'The courses leading to the BTh normally take three years for the general degree and four years for the Honours degree.'
Religious Studies
MA
Full time: 3/4 years
'The MA in Religious Studies combines a rigorous core of religious studies courses with a choice to either concentrate on religious studies or combine a wide variety of subjects in Arts and Social Sciences. Students receive a cutting-edge understanding of the world's major religious traditions, their historical development and importance in the modern world, as well as studying the ritual, social and political realities of religious communities.
'The degree ... may be taken as a general or designated degree in three years, or as part of a joint or combined honours degree in four years.'
The MA in Divinity is designed to give students wishing to concentrate in the study of the Christian tradition greater flexibility in taking courses across the Arts Faculty than is possible with the BD or the BTh degrees.\'
\'The degree may be taken as a designated degree, as a single honours degree or as part of a joint or combined (major/minor) honours programme.\'
'For those with an Arts background, the MTh will provide basic knowledge of Catholic doctrine useful for teaching Catholic RE in schools...'
