*Mini-Thesis
A student in the fourth year may elect to do a mini-thesis in place of one of either Practical Theology IV or Systematic Studies V. The topic will be selected from one of the subjects listed under each heading and will assist particularly those students who are preparing for the Masters programme.
Stand-alone Courses
All our subjects are available as stand-alone courses. Credits are granted for these courses, provided the assignments and exams have been completed. Please note that fourth year courses may only be purchased by students who have completed a three-year qualification.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tab][vc_tab title=”Master” tab_id=”1421858884683-2-4″][vc_column_text]Masters Programme
The SA Theological Seminary is the first private tertiary institution to have been awarded accreditation for the MTh programme. The standards in South Africa are extremely high as far as accreditation is concerned. There is only one body that is authorised to accredit tertiary institutions, namely the Council on Higher Education, which has a stated policy of national and international comparability. In this regard we have been subjected to a very stringent evaluation. You are therefore assured that the degree you earn is of the highest standard and that the credits are fully portable.
Options
Our Masters programme offers you a very wide range of focus areas, each of which is supervised by highly competent academic specialists, who have been very carefully selected to provide you with the levels of service excellence, for which we have become known. You can choose either a thesis or a structured programme in the following fields:
Practical Theology
Pastoral Counselling
Systematic Theology
Old Testament
New Testament
Biblical Studies
Children’s Ministry
Leadership
Church Management
Bible Translation
Missiology
Christian Education
Thesis
If you choose the thesis route, you will be required to write about 120-140 pages, (12 point font, one-and-a-half spacing). There is no coursework and no exam. All work is submitted and returned via email, except, of course, the final bound copy. We are particularly proud of our carefully selected team of Supervisors, each of whom is a specialist in his field:

The structured programme
If you have a “thin” theological background, e.g. an undergraduate degree in a different field with limited theological content, we will recommend the structured route, i.e. that you complete two or three mini-theses, not necessarily in the same discipline, around outcomes resulting from negotiations between you and your supervisor. (Please note that this is not a collection of subjects taken at fifth year level, which is traditionally known as “coursework” although your supervisor may require you to complete one or more under-graduate subjects). Again, all your work is submitted and returned via email, except of course the final bound copy[/vc_column_text][/vc_tab][/vc_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row]
