Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Education and Religious Studies (XV63)

Education and Religious Studies is a dynamic and stimulating opportunity to study the individual, social, and political forces that shape education, in all its forms. Students who are interested in how and why people learn, both formally and informally, in the UK or abroad, then studying Education will challenge and excite them in equal measure.

Studying Education at Liverpool Hope University will help students to develop academically as they engage with evidence and research, professionally as they link theory to practice, preparing them for a wide variety of work contexts, and personally as they think more deeply about their values and aspirations. It is structured around the four key disciplines of education: psychology, sociology, history, and philosophy. Each discipline provides a different lens through which key ideas and issues in education can be understood.

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.
