Leeds Trinity Theology and Religious Studies Department

Theology and Religious Studies at Leeds Trinity raises ultimate questions about God, transcendence, goodness and the meaning of life. You will learn about different religious approaches to life and worship from texts, history and contemporary societies.

Full-time BA Degrees

We offer three different full-time BA programmes in this subject area: Theology, Religious Studies and -- new from 2013 -- Philosophy, Ethics and Religion. This allows you to take a course of study that best suits your interests and ambitions. All three include historical and modern dimensions, and approaches that encompass sacred texts, ethics and morality, doctrine, belief and practice and social life. At Leeds Trinity, you will put your newfound knowledge to work, gaining practical vocational experience in a related field with our Professional Placements scheme.
