Course Description

Profound. Inspiring. Divisive. Religion can be all of these things. Making sense of religion through theology is essential to understanding other cultures - and your own.

This course is designed for talented UK students with a drive to examine religion but whose personal circumstances make achieving our usual entry requirements difficult.

This could be your opportunity to study your subject of choice at a top 20 UK university (Times Higher Education Rankings 2023).

Through a range of engaging modules spanning the arts and humanities, the foundation year gives you an opportunity to develop key skills such as communication, critical thinking, teamwork, and digital capability. Your foundation year tutors will support you in developing the necessary skills, knowledge and confidence for undergraduate study.

During the foundation year you will be a full member of the university, with all the opportunities this offers, including the same accommodation options as direct entry students.

Upon progressing from the foundation year to the three-year Theology and Religious Studies BA 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.
