In Year 2, you will study the history and development of the Church, and models of the Church suitable and appropriate for today's world. Year 3 offers a module on spirituality combined with human and personal development. During the course, you will relate the subject to other parts of the curriculum and discover the ways in which major religions are expressed through art, music, literature and community life. The fourth year will also contain a research project arising from a Year 3 or Year 4 topic. The course is taught through a combination of lectures, seminars and visits to places of worship.
Visits highlight the importance of looking at the Bible through the eyes of artists.
Assessment is by a combination of coursework, project and examination. Two A levels or equivalent are required. Theology is an excellent subject to take alongside History, English, Science, Sports Studies or Social and Applies Psychology. It overlaps with approaches and trends current in modern History and English Literature. As the quintessential Arts subject, it offers a good balance to Science-based subjects.
