PhD Compendia: SATS PhD Thesis Summaries, 2020 to 2025

From 2021 to 2026, SATS has invited each PhD graduate from the preceding year to submit a short article summarising his or her PhD thesis. Each cohort's thesis summaries are then professionally laid out and published in an annual compendium. The PhD Compendium has served as a celebratory platform where we can showcase the results of God-glorifying, church-edifying, academically rigorous research conducted at the apex of the student research journey. It is a joy for SATS to both celebrate this milestone with our alumni and to share it with the broader church.

The first six volumes of the SATS PhD Compendium can be downloaded at the links below:

PhD Compendium, Volume 1 (2020)

PhD Compendium, Volume 2 (2021)

PhD Compendium, Volume 3 (2022)

In closing, we quote Dr Robert Falconer (Head of Research and Publishing) as he states in the foreword of Volume 6: "Together, these studies reflect both the breadth of research being undertaken at SATS and the strength of our experienced supervisory team. As always, I want to thank all the doctoral graduates for writing such outstanding executive summaries of their theses and for submitting them timeously. A huge thank you goes out to everyone—including supervisors, friends, family, and churches—who have supported each student on their research journey."
