Theology and Religious Studies / Comparative Literature, MA (Hons)

Theology and Religious Studies involves examining religion, religious texts, and theology in relation to politics, history, literature, philosophy, art, culture, personal beliefs, and practices. This field passionately investigates how religion influences political and cultural dynamics, allowing students to explore its role in humanity's rich textual, cultural, artistic, and philosophical traditions, as well as its impact on politics, conflicts, and social attitudes. Programmes can be tailored to introduce a range of religions or focus specifically on the Christian tradition.Comparative Literature entails the analysis of literary works across cultural, national, temporal, linguistic, and generic boundaries, including intersections with other arts. It can be pursued alongside various disciplines, and pairing it with a foreign language is recommended to broaden intellectual perspectives.
