phd Programme

The PhD Programme at the Centre for Faith and Community is at the heart of our commitment to fostering transformative, evidence-based research that addresses real-world challenges.

 

Rooted in the principles of engaged scholarship, the programme equips doctoral candidates with the tools to conduct impactful research that bridges the gap between academia, faith communities, and society. PhD students at the Centre work within a dynamic and trans-disciplinary environment, engaging with topics that span urban transformation, social justice, spirituality, theology, and public policy. Through close mentorship and collaboration with our network of experienced researchers, practitioners, and community partners, candidates have the opportunity to produce research that is both academically rigorous and socially relevant.

 

Our programme places a strong emphasis on praxis-based approaches, inviting students to immerse themselves in community contexts, critically reflect on their findings, and co-create innovative solutions. Whether you are exploring pathways out of homelessness, reimagining theological education in urban Africa, or advocating for socio-spatial justice, the PhD Programme provides the platform to make meaningful contributions to knowledge and practice. If you are passionate about research that makes a difference, we invite you to join us in shaping a future where healthy, life-affirming, and transformed communities are a reality.

 

By participating in these events, you join a movement that seeks to reimagine urban life, amplify the voices of the vulnerable, and co-create solutions to some of the most complex challenges of our time. We invite you to explore our upcoming events and become part of this transformative journey.
