BA Theology

Programme overview

The BA Theology is an exciting and varied programme which will provide you with an excellent grounding in the discipline while giving you the flexibility to specialise in areas of your choice.

You will gain an in-depth understanding of the key elements of Theology such as philosophy of religion, ethics and biblical studies.

You will also be able to customise your degree by choosing from a long list of modules covering  issues as diverse as sexuality, criminal justice, feminism, the environment, science, anthropology, evolution, art, the body, the soul, heaven and hell, heresy, morality and ethics, martyrs and pilgrimage, life after death, and study of religions.

Opportunities are available to add value to your academic studies by going on field trips, taking a work placement, or studying abroad. You can also take modules in Biblical Hebrew and New Testament Greek or take credits in subjects such as Arab and Islamic Studies, Sociology, Philosophy, Politics, History or Classics, many of which offer modules directly related to theological debates, world religions, ethics and philosophy.

Study abroad

Students on this programme have the opportunity to study for one semester at a partner institution overseas or follow a four-year "with Study Abroad" programme which allows you to spend your third year abroad. You may apply directly for the four-year programme or transfer once you are at Exeter. Find out more on our study abroad web pages.
