Undergraduate Study in Religions and Theology
We offer a wide range and variety of course units, in a number of different programmes. You can learn about Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish and Islamic traditions, take units in Ancient Hebrew, Greek or Sanskrit, pursue an interest in the Bible or Christian theology, and explore the different approaches to the study of Religions offered by, for example, anthropology, history and philosophy. At Manchester you will have access to the John Rylands University Library, one of the major university libraries in the country, with a vast collection of books, journals and archives in the Religions and Theology subject area.

Student Feedback
"Small group teaching is excellent in giving one the space to explore ideas in depth and share knowledge at a more-than-superficial level." David Few, 3rd year
"There is lots of freedom to study what you want to study and to pick modules outside of the subject area." Patrick Daly, 3rd year
"Particularly in the Core Course, having a smaller group was an ideal way to meet people and manage smaller group tasks. The atmosphere is generally more informal and it is easier to ask questions and ensure better understanding." Scott Hunt, 1st year
"Generally, feedback on coursework is useful and lecturers make the effort to write helpful comments." Judy Scholes, 3rd year- Undergraduate prospectus (PDF Document, 1,982 KB)
