* This degree can be taken on a part-time basis.

The SWIU degree programme incorporates a variety of ways for interacting with Theology, including detailed study of Old and New Testaments; the insights and challenges of philosophy and ethics; the historical and contemporary study of the Christian tradition; and the Study of Religion, which brings to bear the methods of social sciences such as anthropology and sociology upon religious practices and theological traditions.

The flexible structure of the degree allows you to pursue either a broadly based, diverse programme of study, or to specialise in an area of your choice. The first year course equips you with the knowledge and skills to engage with Old and New Testaments, philosophy of religion and ethics, study of religion and church history and Christian doctrine. Beyond the first year, you have the opportunity either to develop your expertise in all of these areas, or to specialise in one or more according to your interests. In your final year, you will submit a dissertation which allows you to explore in depth a topic which is of special interest to you.

lectures in large groups to provide information for more detailed study

seminars in groups of a dozen or so to allow for discussion and student-led presentations and debates

small classes for specific subjects like languages and final year specialist options

meetings with departmental tutors, who advise on subject choices, planning of academic work, and approaches to study.

We use a variety of assessment methods. First year modules are assessed by a three hour examination. Many second year modules are assessed by a mixture of course work and examination. The third year includes a compulsory dissertation (either single or double module), and four other modules which are assessed by examination.

The department does not organise separate open days because the majority of applicants are invited to interview. However, we welcome visits from potential applicants: in order to ensure that someone will be available to see you, it is important that you contact us first to arrange a visit.
