Masters Preparation

Hi!

I'm midway through the 2nd year of my undergrad (BA in Theology and Religion) and absolutely love my course. I'm keen on going onto a master's afterwards, with a particular focus on the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament. So far, I have performed comfortably well, consistently receiving high grades, and I am currently at a very good university, so I am keen to attend another prestigious institution. I'm currently looking for things I can do linked to this area to help prepare for further study and to put on my PS/SOP, but it's hard for such a niche area. If anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate it!*

Must add, I'm not religious, so things like helping out in a local church is not something I would feel the most at ease with - although I have looked at volunteering with a local humanist society.
TIA

A Masters admission really only looks at academic matters. You need the best possible grades, a good research proposal, strong references. Then maybe attending a few academic conferences or getting something published, even in something quite small would help. But grades and an interesting research proposal will be the main aspects considered.
