The MPhil in Religious Studies at the University of Edinburgh’s School of Divinity is a research degree within a vibrant cluster focused on theoretically informed and comparative study of religion(s). Students pursue an independent research project under one-to-one supervision (with advice from two supervisors), framing their work with classic and cutting‑edge theoretical and methodological approaches. The first year develops the research area and proposal; around month nine, students submit a draft chapter and a developed thesis proposal for a Review Board, which advises progression into year two. The MPhil thesis is up to 60,000 words. Research themes among staff include ethnicity, gender, indigeneity, nationalism, textuality, and the transnational, and students are encouraged to identify and contact potential supervisors before applying. 来源： https://postgraduate.degrees.ed.ac.uk/index.php?r=site%2Fview&edition=2024&id=1033
