Master of Arts

このコースは英語の受講のみとなります

The Master of Arts is designed to provide a comprehensive postgraduate-level education, drawing on SOT’s established expertise, while expanding to include general subjects of interest to the students. The programme’s coursework aims to offer an advanced body of knowledge and professional application in various contexts. Graduates will gain an in-depth understanding of the Christian worldview and its integration with vocation and community. They will develop skills in critical thinking, problem-solving, teamwork, and communication, along with advanced theoretical knowledge and its practical application. The Master of Arts is designed to produce graduates who can effectively apply their knowledge and skills in diverse professional settings, demonstrating intellectual independence, responsibility, and collaboration, as well as a strong foundation in both theory and practice.

The Master of Arts is only open to Christians with a Bachelor’s degree.
