MIN743 Research Proposal in Ministry (16)

Issues and questions which arise from the candidate's professional practice in ministry provide the basis of the research project. From these an extended research proposal is developed by the candidate in a collaborative learning environment and is defended by presentation to the faculty of the School of Theology and professional practitioners in the candidate's proposed area of research. Candidates also complete a research proposal form and ethics approval (if required) for submission to the University.
