Theology & Religious Studies

Theology & Religious Studies encompasses the study of religion, religions, the Bible and theology – not as worlds apart, but as they relate to politics, history, literature, philosophy, art and culture as well as to personal belief and practice. Students are trained to explore how religion shapes political and cultural life, including within contemporary conflict and social challenges. Programmes are distinguished by a flexible approach that allows for either general exploration of diverse traditions or a focus on the Christian tradition, including pastoral ministry pathways. Graduates from these programmes possess highly transferable critical and communication skills.

• Deep engagement with global traditions, texts and faiths.
• Exploration of religion's impact on contemporary global issues.
• Career readiness for ministry, education, social work, and media roles.
• Opportunities for international exchange during standard degree pathways.
