Theology and Religious Studies

How do ancient texts help shape people's choices in the modern world? What's the connection between believing, belonging, and behaving? Do new religious movements present a danger to society? What tools does Christian doctrine provide for addressing the climate crisis? What does the Bible really say? Is religion a force for good in the world, or a source of conflict?

Questions about religion, faith, and spirituality are vital in modern, global society. A degree in Theology and Religious Studies equips you to understand the ongoing significance and meaning of religious perspectives in the contemporary world, as well as inviting you to think critically and constructively about beliefs, practices and ethical concerns in traditions such as Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and Asian religions. Our course welcomes and supports students from a variety of faith, belief, and non-belief backgrounds.
