About Religion and Theology, BA - at Cardiff University

In our rich and rewarding BA Religion and Theology degree, you will explore the histories, cultures and beliefs of both major and less well-known religious traditions, taking your pick from a variety of approaches and research specialisms that extend beyond Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Islam and Christianity.

You tailor your own programme from a wide range of modules. You can combine thematic, social scientific, linguistic and historical approaches, addressing both the history and basic beliefs of religious traditions and their role in public life, from religion in the media to mythology in modern cinema. Examining religious history and culture across a broad spectrum, you will also consider the political and social dimensions of religion, from gender and sexuality to warfare and social ethics.

Bringing a wealth of expertise across theme and religious tradition, our academics share latest thinking in the classroom, including their own cutting-edge research.

Our supportive community enables you to flourish. We collaborate on first-name terms, and small group teaching means every student can participate in discussions, something consistently praised in National Student Survey feedback.

Explore the histories, cultures and beliefs of both major and less well known traditions, taking your pick of thematic, historical, textual and social scientific approaches.

You have great flexibility to tailor your programme, choosing subjects of real interest in modules ranging widely from religion in the media to mythology in modern cinema.
