This degree will enable you to understand and explain the ways in which religion significantly shapes the world. Year one provides you with a solid foundation in religion’s complex interaction with the modern world. Subsequent years allow you more flexibility to shape your degree to suit your interests. In years one and two you take units covering issues and approaches to the study of world religions. You will be offered optional units on various aspects of Buddhism, Christian history and theology, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and Chinese and Japanese religions. You can also choose to study one of the following languages: Chinese, Greek, Japanese, Latin or Sanskrit. As part of our programme you have the opportunity to spend half of your second year studying abroad at a partner university.
