Maryvale@SaintMary’s

Following the transfer of three of the Theology and Philosophy programmes from Maryvale Institute, Archdiocese of Birmingham to St Mary’s University, Twickenham  we are pleased to announce that applications for September 2024 are now open for the part time, distance learning BA (Hons.) Philosophy in the Catholic Tradition (6 years) and MA Catholic Applied Theology (2 years) at St Mary’s University Twickenham, now part of Maryvale@SaintMary’s.

BA Philosophy in the Catholic Tradition

You will engage in an informed, systematic manner with the key areas of philosophical enquiry as these relate to the philosophical theological traditions of Christianity.

What students say:

-the undergraduate syllabus was the most comprehensive and balanced approach I could find amongst the range of university undergraduate philosophy courses available. It impressed me that, although it was designated as a philosophy course examining primarily the Catholic academic tradition in the subject, it nevertheless adopted an admirably rigorous, holistic approach to the study of philosophy as an intellectual discipline.

MA Catholic Applied Theology: Contribute to the field of theology

You will learn to apply theological principals, thinking and skills to practical situations in a range of contexts and have the research skills to contribute individually to the field of theology. 

What students say:

-I liked the way the programme made theology relevant to everyday Chrisitan life and how the course content was wonderful and totally in line with Church Teaching.

-the course has greatly educated me, grown my faith and helped me to find my likely future path in faith ministry in my diocese. 

-I loved the course content. It has inspired me to further study.
