About BA Philosophy and Theology

On this course you will combine philosophy with study in religion and theology, taking an equal number of credits in each subject.

In philosophy you will study units covering introduction to philosophy, logic, and realism and normativity and undertake an extended essay.

For theology, you will take an introductory unit on different religious traditions and a methodology unit in your first year. You will also take an optional unit from choices that may include Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Judaism, Hinduism, Chinese and Japanese religions, and the Philosophy of Religion.

In the second year you will continue your studies in philosophy and theology by combining mandatory units with other units of your choice.

In the third year you will take three optional units, including a dissertation in an area of special interest to you.
