This programme aims to provide you with a secure knowledge of the major theories, concepts and issues relating to religion in a variety of intellectual traditions and historical and contemporary contexts. Our intention is that you will gain an understanding of a range of debates and discussions raised by past and present religious belief and practice. In addition, throughout this programme we enable you to gain the skills required to evaluate, analyse and interpret both academic and practitioner approaches to religion.

In addition to the core module of Studying Religion you will choose two optional modules from the range available in the Department of Politics, Philosophy and Religion.

Career

We know that it can be daunting to start thinking about your future. So, our team of experienced careers professionals are here to give you the support and help you need to plan your next steps.

Careers support after you've graduated

You may not need us after you graduate - most of our students go straight into work or continue their studies. But careers aren’t straight lines on one simple track. Your aims in life can shift over time and your circumstances may change. When that happens, we’ll be here to help. We give our graduates free lifetime access to our services. Put simply, we’re here for as long as you need us.
