Undergraduate Religion
Whatever your background or beliefs, this course is designed for anyone interested in exploring important questions about why people live in the way they do and how faith and spirituality affects the public sphere. 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.
Our research-active lecturers specialise in areas such as use of the Bible in society, LGBTQ+ experiences of religion, and gender and religion.
Studying religion opens up a range of careers, from the civil service to journalism to getting involved with charities.
Focus on the major religions: Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and Sikhism. Many unis don’t cover such an extensive range.
Open days are suitable whether you are looking to study an undergraduate programme or postgraduate course. Attending an open day provides an opportunity for you, and your family, to see our beautiful campus.
