Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Psychology and Theology (VC68)

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.

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.
