Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Theology and Tourism (VN11)

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.

Tourism is one of the world’s largest industries and has become one of its biggest sources of employment. Liverpool Hope University's Tourism degree looks at tourism from both management and academic perspectives. It looks at issues such as the structure of the tourism industry; impacts of tourism on people and the environment; the emergence of new forms of tourism to rival the package holiday; tourism destination management and global tourism development.

Liverpool Hope University's degree curriculum embeds material which aims to not only provide an in-depth, up-to-date knowledge on tourism, but also to refine critical thinking and develop students' key transferable skills. The university works closely with local tourism stakeholders to ensure the Tourism degree benefits local societies.
