Research @ St Francis College

Are you considering taking your theological studies further through research? St Francis College, in partnership with the University of Divinity, offers a range of postgraduate research pathways for those who have completed an undergraduate or postgraduate coursework degree in a field related to Theology.

If you have an undergraduate degree but no formal research qualification (such as Honours or a Masters by research), our Graduate Certificate in Research Methodology is a great place to start—especially if you’re thinking about progressing to a Master of Philosophy or Doctor of Philosophy. For those who already hold a research qualification and are ready to pursue deeper study, we offer both a Master of Philosophy and a Doctor of Philosophy, providing the opportunity to undertake substantial research in a field related to Theology, with the support of experienced supervisors.

To help you explore these options, we’re hosting a Research @ St Francis College Information Afternoon on Thursday, 23 October. The program will run from 1:30 to 4:00 PM in Lecture Room 1, and you’re welcome to join us: 

  • 2:00 PM: Faculty share their current research work 

  • 3:00 PM: Afternoon tea (those not interested in studying can leave at this point) 

  • 3:15 PM: Information about enrolling at the University of Divinity for research degrees 

  • 4:00 PM: Finish

This is a fantastic opportunity to hear about the latest research happening at St Francis, ask questions about the enrolment process, and find out more about what’s involved in postgraduate research. If you’d like more information about enrolment, available units, or timetables, please contact our Registrar, Linda Burridge, on (07) 3514 7403. For questions about supervision or potential thesis topics, our Research Co-ordinator, Dr Peter Kline, is available on (07) 3514 7418. 

We hope you can join us for an afternoon of learning, conversation, and inspiration!
