Courses
Whatever your background or beliefs, this course is designed for anyone interested in exploring important questions we have about creation, life and faith. Study the subject on its own, or as part of a teaching qualification.
Joining us on field trips and in guest lectures, 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.
- Explore religion with support from experts researching areas like the use of the Bible, paganisms, social media and religion, history or religion, digital religion and gender.
- Studying religion opens up a range of careers, from working in the civil service to becoming a journalist, to supporting a charity on their mission, or 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 – and you will see how they apply to the modern world.
