Doctor of Philosophy (Biblical and Religious Studies)

Holders of a Master’s degree of the University or the holders of other qualifications approved by Senate, may be accepted as candidates for the relevant degree.
Candidates who have passed the examinations on the grounds of which they will be awarded the relevant degree by the University or on the grounds on which the required status may later be granted to them, or who have in any other manner (e.g. RPL) attained a level of competence which in Senate’s opinion is adequate for the purpose of post-graduate studies or research at the required level, may be accepted as candidates for the relevant degree.
Apart from the general admission requirements, a candidate may be required to fulfil further requirements, e.g. supplementary work or an oral/written examination as prescribed by Senate.
A prospective student must contact the relevant Head of Department or Director of School wherein his/her studies will take place, before applying for admission.
An application for registration as a student for a postgraduate research qualification may, after approval by the Head of Department or Director of School, be processed by the Faculty Officer.
Where applicable, a candidate must submit a research proposal for approval by the Faculty Research, Technology and Innovation Committee within the prescribed minimum period as stipulated in the post-graduate research policy. Once such approval has been obtained, an official research project is registered by the Faculty Officer.
Unless the Faculty Management Committee decides otherwise, no candidate will be allowed to continue with his/her studies if a research project has not been registered within the prescribed minimum period as stipulated in the post-graduate research policy.
