Divinity is one of the oldest disciplines in the University of Cambridge. St Edmund's College welcomes applications from mature and affiliated students for places on the B.A. Applicants from mature students taking A levels or Access courses are welcome. There are no specific entry requirements for the course, although a facility with languages would be beneficial for students taking Part One of the Tripos. Applicants from the United Kingdom are required to attend an interview with the College's Admissions Tutor for Undergraduates and the Director of Studies. They will take a 60 minute written test on the day of the interview.
The College's spacious new library was completed in October 2006. Undergraduates in Divinity benefit from the varied forms of theological expertise at postgraduate and senior level are present in the College. There are several postgraduates reading for the Diploma, an M.Phil. or the Ph.D. in the Faculty of Divinity. This fruitful exchange of ideas is facilitated by the Theology Discussion Group, which meets once a term to consider some aspect of academic interest.
Members of the Fellowship teach in the Faculty and are active in various areas of research. Dr Peta Dunstan is the Faculty Librarian and a supervisor in Church History. Drs Dirk Jongkind, Peter Head, Edward Kessler and Michael Robson, Fellows of the College, are involved in the supervision of students at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
