A bachelor's degree in religion will allow you to take your knowledge and understanding of the elements of religious studies, and apply them to real-world situations. Religion degrees usually take 3-4 years to complete when studied full-time. During a religion degree, you will be able to study specialisations such as contemporary religion, the history of religion, as well as modules about specific religions from around the world.

Tuition fees for international students can vary depending on where you are from and the country you choose to study in.
