Notified the Faculty of Theology has recommended acceptance. The university has to accept that recommendation and then send an official offer as a next step. Funding info follows later. This is an offer for the Research Master program, which I was encouraged to apply for in lieu of a PhD because they rarely admit anyone who hasn't come through their ReMa program. My STM does have an effect on the program completion time, but I would still need to reapply for the PhD program there in a year.
