Are you intrigued by questions such as: does God exist? If God exists, why is there evil? Is there a duty to be moral? Is religion a good thing? Studying Theology opens up fascinating and challenging questions which stretch you on both an intellectual and personal level. Lessons put great emphasis upon students leading discussions, developing critical reasoning skills and facing up to the moral, spiritual and cultural issues presented by modern society. You can expect to analyse key texts, research the work of early and modern theologians and develop your own ideas in the context of a complex and ever-changing world. The Theology specification as a whole is designed to offer an academic approach to the study of Philosophy and Ethics and the manner in which they are supported or challenged by religion. The course is accessible to students of any religious persuasion, or none.
