Theology and Religion/Philosophy and Theology

The study of Theology and Religion or of Philosophy and Theology raises questions and issues which have long been at the heart of intellectual enquiry and profoundly shaped human culture across the globe. The undergraduate courses attract students who are interested in how religion has influenced culture right up to the present; the development of the world religions’ sacred texts, practices and ideologies; philosophical questions raised by the possibility of the existence of God; and philosophical questions more widely. The study of Theology and Religion encourage students to explore themes and ideas within the major world religions from a range of disciplinary perspectives; the study in Philosophy introduces students to foundational ideas in philosophical thought.
