Course Overview

You'll study core modules in interdisciplinary social science and sociology, giving you a firm grounding in ideas central to the social sciences. This will be combined with exploring a variety of phenomena mediated by religion, from consumerism and the environment, atheism and Hindu nationalism, to racism, the urban environment, and contemporary pilgrimage. On completion of this degree, you’ll be able to apply knowledge and ideas from religious studies and the wider social sciences to a broad range of practical and real-world issues. You’ll also have gained many transferable skills – opening employment opportunities in private, public, and voluntary sector organizations.

  • Specialize in religious studies within a broad interdisciplinary social science degree.

  • Learn how to apply cutting-edge ideas from the field of religious studies to a broad range of real-world situations.

  • Develop skills in independent working and apply these in an extended essay based on a literature-based research project.

  • Gain a degree directly relevant to careers where critical analysis is at a premium or that involves understanding the workings of society, such as the civil service, local government, research, and policy work.
