Celtic Civilisation / Theology & Religious Studies, MA (Hons)

Celtic Civilisation explores the rich history of the Celts, including the evolution of their societies, literature, material culture, art, and religion, from ancient times on the European continent to the modern British Isles. Students can examine medieval and contemporary cultures of Celtic-speaking peoples through cutting-edge research, as part of a joint degree programme that does not require learning a Celtic language.Theology and Religious Studies allows students to learn Greek and Hebrew from beginner levels to read original texts of the Hebrew Bible and New Testament. This field examines religion, the Bible, and theology in relation to politics, history, literature, philosophy, art, culture, personal belief, and practice. Open to all faiths or none, it covers major world religions—including Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism—in their cultural, political, and intellectual contexts, supported by experts in diverse specialties.
