Theology and Religious Studies / Social and Public Policy, MA (Hons)

Theology and Religious Studies explores religion, the Bible, and theology in relation to politics, history, literature, philosophy, art, culture, personal beliefs, and practices. This programme passionately examines how religion influences political and cultural dynamics, including its role in human heritage, conflicts, and social attitudes. Students can tailor their studies to cover a range of religions or focus on the Christian tradition.Social and Public Policy addresses global challenges like poverty, inequality, housing, health, technology, and sustainability. Drawing from political science, sociology, and economics, it analyses how governments develop responses to meet societal needs, welfare, and wellbeing. The programme includes a valuable work placement in a voluntary or public sector organisation.
