Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Psychology and Religious Studies (CV68)

Liverpool Hope University sees Psychology as a discipline with the capacity, and responsibility, to make a positive contribution to how people live in everyday life. The university strives to enable students to grow into constructive citizens who are curious about people, and motivated to make a positive difference to the lives of others. Beyond classroom learning, there are opportunities to enrich students' chosen program of study in a way that will help them in developing their psychological thinking. They include going on a placement year, working as a research assistant in a laboratory, travelling to another country as part of Global Hope, or studying abroad.

Religious Studies at Liverpool Hope University explores the practice and significance of religion in contemporary society through the study of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, African religion, and Indic traditions such as Buddhism and Hinduism. A balance between the study of religious texts and lived religion in the contemporary world is maintained throughout the degree. Religious Studies pays close attention to what supporters to these religions believe, and explores the very real differences that exist between various groups within each faith.

Throughout students' studies, they will analyze and contextualize the theology behind key religions to appreciate their history and their relevance to the social and political landscape. All of Liverpool Hope University's teaching is research-informed and students will be taught by highly-qualified academics, all of whom have a PhD in the area, who are both active and published researchers and committed teachers.
