Bachelor of Arts - Religion and Theology (V6V6)

The BA Religion and Theology degree, students will explore the histories, cultures and beliefs of both major and less well-known religious traditions, taking their pick from a variety of approaches and research specialisms that extend beyond Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Islam and Christianity.

Students tailor their own program from a wide range of modules. They can combine thematic, social scientific, linguistic and historical approaches, addressing both the history and basic beliefs of religious traditions and their role in public life, from religion in the media to mythology in modern cinema. Examining religious history and culture across a broad spectrum, they will also consider the political and social dimensions of religion, from gender and sexuality to warfare and social ethics.

Bringing a wealth of expertise across theme and religious tradition, and academics share latest thinking in the classroom, including their own cutting-edge research.

Supportive community enables them to flourish. We collaborate on first-name terms, and small group teaching means every student can participate in discussions, something consistently praised in National Student Survey feedback.
