Location of University of Birmingham
Research degrees in the University of Birmingham School of Historical Studies are MPhil and PhD. It is possible to study for either of these in Pentecostal and Charismatic Studies.
The PhD is, of course, the most advanced level of this training. But it is still regarded as a training programme, so while the thesis is required to show evidence of original work, it does not have to be the last, authoritative contribution to the subject! What is required at this level is that the student is able to put to original use the kind of techniques and experience described in relation to the MPhil. PhD students will be required to prove their skills by written work submitted and assessed during the first year of registration
