Arts and Humanities (Religious Studies) (R14-RS)

Course description

This is one of several specialist routes available in our BA (Honours) Arts and Humanities (R14). The degree starts by developing your understanding of the world we live in through a variety of perspectives, periods and subjects. You’ll then take two specialist religious studies modules, exploring religions as an important aspect of human culture, society and politics and their role and significance in various debates and controversies. The modules cover many different contemporary and historical contexts. Your learning in this exciting subject will be supported by books, podcasts, videos and interactive materials.

Alongside your study of religious studies, you can choose to study a second specialism from art history, classical studies, creative writing, English language, English literature, history, modern languages, music and philosophy. This will entitle you to include both subjects in the name of your degree, or complete your degree with modules chosen from a wide range of options.
