Course Description

Profound. Inspiring. Divisive. Religion can be all of these things.

Making sense of religion and its impact is essential to understanding other cultures - and your own.

At Nottingham, you'll explore:

  • how religious ideas, practices, and identities develop over time
  • the insights theology and ethics bring to the biggest questions we face today
  • how religious beliefs influence science, philosophy, art, and literature.

Our staff include theologians, philosophers, biblical scholars, historians and sociologists. This diversity broadens your skills and perspectives.

For example you can:

  • explore centuries of philosophical arguments about the nature of God
  • study the relationship between Judaism, Christianity and Islam
  • learn ancient Greek and Hebrew and read biblical texts in their original languages

Come and be part of a dynamic, supportive community helping to shape the future of understanding between cultures.

No previous academic study of Theology or Religious Studies is needed to do this degree.

Combine with other subjects

You can also combine Theology with Philosophy in our joint honours programme, or study it alongside multiple subjects on our Liberal Arts BA.
