Courses
Never studied religion? Not religious? It doesn’t matter. This course is designed for anyone to explore important questions humans have about creation, life and beliefs. Study the subject on its own, or as part of a teaching qualification.
Joining us on field trips and listening to guest lecturers, you’ll explore practices as they are lived in the 21st century and understand how religion interfaces with society and culture. When you graduate, you’ll be able to show employers your understanding of diversity and difference, as well as empathy and sensitivity towards different religions.
- Learn from research-active lecturers – who have had work published in their specialist areas, such as the use of the Bible in society, LGBTQ+ experiences of religion, gender and religion, and the history of Islamic traditions.
- Studying religion opens up a range of careers, from working in the civil service to becoming a journalist, supporting a charity on their mission to getting involved with religious ministries.
- Focus on religion in the modern world. You’ll cover Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and Sikhism – many unis don’t cover such an extensive range of traditions.
