| DESCRIPTION | The purpose of the dissertation for the attainment of the Masters in Spirituality is to develop students’ understanding of, and capacity to critically appraise, develop and apply research skills and methods in one’s reflection on an aspect of spirituality. The study-unit seeks to furnish students with the skills to read critically, reflect on and interpret texts using paper based and electronic resources. It will eventually provide students with the strong foundation necessary to proceed on to conducting their own academic research. As part of this study-unit students are to participate in two weekend seminars on research methods held in the first semester of the first year of the MA in Spirituality. Learning Objectives: On completion of their dissertation, students will be competent in the execution of theological research, the application of appropriate methodologies and in one’s reflection of the area of study chosen.
