Further Study
At different stages in our careers, many of us feel drawn to explore our theology further. This may mean studying for a further degree, undertaking research on a specific theme or engaging in a period of reflection, possibly as part of a sabbatical. St Michael's welcomes anyone wishing to extend their mission and ministry in this way and offers a range of options for you to consider.
Sabbaticals are a recognised way to re-energise people, by allowing them time to explore a different aspect of their work or to undertake some form of study. St Michael's offers the opportunity for anyone taking a sabbatical to participate for a few weeks in the life of the college - to talk to the students, to gain new ideas about worship and experience new ways to engage with people, to step back from a busy life, to catch up and to reflect.
For those looking for a more formal period of study, St Michael's, in partnership with Cardiff University's Faculty of Religious and Theological Studies, offers full-time and part-time study. The two routes offered are either through a structured course of teaching leading to the awards of MA, MTh or Postgraduate Diploma or by undertaking supervised research leading to the awards of MPhil and PhD. Research interests include:
- The Church in contemporary society;
- Christian social ethics;
- The nature of worship; and
- Modern Theology.
- Chaplaincy Studies
Students can combine their formal study with life at St Michael's – taking advantage of the accommodation, study, support and worship available in this tranquil setting.
Accommodation is also available to those undertaking a sabbatical or reflective break.
