Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Drama and Theology (DE15)

Liverpool Hope University’s creative community is internationally renowned and world-leading in drama research and practice. Students will develop their acting skills, their ability to facilitate drama sessions, as well as improving their critical writing skills. The university makes use of the many theatre venues in Liverpool, from the traditional Everyman/Playhouse to the experimental Tate Liverpool as well as their own Capstone Theatre, several well-equipped studio theatre spaces dedicated for student use, and their very own Hope Theatre Company – of which students could play a part. Across 2,000 years, the Christian tradition has provoked an immense wealth of theological ideas, has adapted itself to many cultural forms and has shaped human minds and events. This degree offers students the opportunity to study Christianity from a number of perspectives – historical, doctrinal, pastoral and contextual – so that they will acquire expertise in finding their way through this complex and rich field of study. The degree includes the academic study of the Christian Bible and embodies the university's commitment to take faith seriously, whilst at the same time to be intellectually stretching, stimulating and challenging. The teaching staff in the Department represent a broad range of Christian traditions, and are all published experts in their own particular fields. By exploring the textual, historical, political and philosophical aspects of theology, Liverpool Hope University's provision in this area provides students with a holistic and in-depth appreciation of the subject.
