Course Description
If you’re drawn to thinking about God and Christian faith, our Theology degree offers you a course that encourages open-mindedness and lively debate.
You’ll explore how people of faith have instilled life with religious meaning and seek to understand how Christian beliefs and values are relevant to the world.
As well as investigating what Christianity in action looks like today, you’ll have the opportunity to study other important religious traditions.
Theology provides an intellectual space for anyone drawn to thinking about God and Christian faith. If you are fascinated by the ways Christianity is shaping communities and cultures, and want to take questions of faith seriously, this course is for you.
Drawing on academic expertise in major areas of Christian Theology, we offer modules which cover key aspects of Biblical studies, the history and interpretation of doctrine, philosophical theology, practical and ethical issues. We also offer the opportunity to study other religious traditions. This stimulating degree course fosters critical judgment, analysis and evaluation, together with cultural awareness and the ability to argue with clarity.
