This course aims to provide students the opportunity to extend the skills and knowledge which they have developed in other courses within the programme and apply them to a particular area of study and/or to a practical/vocational experience in greater depth. With the assistance of a supervising tutor students will be required to define an area of study, prepare a learning contract and timetable for their studies, and develop an appropriate bibliography and mode of assessment. The advanced study will be completed during one semester and the field of study will therefore need to be approved before the start of semester. Students may choose from one of the following broad areas of study:
- Religion, culture and society
- Systematic theology, philosophy and ethics
Students may propose a vocational experience or community visits as the context for their study and reflection in this advanced study.
ObjectivesUpon successful completion of this course, students will be expected to: - Demonstrate enhanced theological insights and knowledge across a range of secular and/or ministry workplace settings; (private, public and ecclesial); - Communicate effectively with people of different Faiths, and colleagues practising in related disciplines, vocations or professions (eg. sociology, psychology, health sciences, teaching, social services, religious ministry); - Communicate theological understandings and awareness of others spiritual health beliefs and behaviours in appropriate ways and levels of discourse; | ||
ContentSupervised Reading or Experience Once the details of the Learning Contract have been approved by the Supervisor, the student and supervisor will meet to agree on details of supervision and contact, relevant learning experiences and work-related activities expected of the student. During the semester, students will normally be expected to meet fortnightly with their supervisor to discuss their progress on the learning outcomes and feedback on their professional development. Before the end of the agreed project duration, the student will again meet with the supervisor to review the achievements and discuss the students professionalism. | ||
