Course summary

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. Read our blogs and news posts to hear from students and to discover what our lecturers are pursuing in their field.

Assessment method

There is a wide range of assessment designed to help you consolidate your learning and develop key skills to equip you for a range of careers. The emphasis is on coursework rather than exams. In addition to essays, you are likely to write book reviews, text analysis, blog posts, dictionary entries, give oral presentations, video presentations, reports, research journals, workbooks, or critical reflections on your own learning. All assessments involve some element of independent choice, and are supported by formative activities, one-to-one tutorials, and feedback which highlights the next steps to enhance your achievement.
