B.A. Religion and Politics (Hons)

Religion and Politics figure equally. In the first year, students take two core modules in Politics: Introduction to the Politics of the World Economy, and Human Nature, Society, and the State.

Students have a choice in their third first-year module. In the Religion element of the first-year programme, students study key modules in Introduction to World Religions, Christian Tradition and Faith in Media.

There are no core modules in the second and third years of the programme. Students choose options from a wide choice of available modules, three in each area of study.

The Religion modules include Religion at Work, Religious Activism, or Religious Fictions. The Politics modules include International Security, British Government, or The Global South and Development.

One third year module, Radical Orthodoxy: Christianity and Politics, is designed to increase reflective and critical skills concerning matters of politics and religion, specifically Christianity. Third-year students also have the opportunity to complete a dissertation.
