RELIGION AND THEOLOGY FACULTY OF ARTS
Religion and Teology
Taught by expert academics, you will explore themes central to cultures including philosophy, ethics, mysticism, sex, power and politics across various religions.
Why study Religion and Theology at Bristol? Religion plays a central role in cultures past and present. We believe that the place of religion in the world can be best understood by examining it from a variety of perspectives across disciplines. Therefore, we approach the study of religion using different methodologies, which include historical, archaeological, linguistic, philosophical, theological and comparative perspectives.
At Bristol you can study Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Chinese and Japanese religions, and philosophy of religion. Your units will take the form of lectures, interactive seminars and tutorials. Assessment is through a combination of exams and coursework. The department is friendly and provides opportunities to interact closely with staff and students in the discussion of religion and theology.
Our graduates pursue careers in education, non- governmental organisations, journalism, law and public relations. A significant number continue to postgraduate study.
