COURSE CURRICULUM

The BA (Hons) Theology, Philosophy, and Religion degree at Canterbury Christ Church University offers a comprehensive study of religious, philosophical, and ethical ideas across three years. In the first year, students explore core concepts through modules such as Religious Experience and the Sacred, Religion in Contemporary Britain, Jesus of Nazareth, and Philosophy and Ethics, alongside Student Success modules that build foundational academic skills. The second year expands into Philosophy of Religion and Jewish and Christian Sacred Texts, while also integrating interdisciplinary learning and practical experience through Industry, Careers, and Enterprise modules. This structure allows students to connect theoretical knowledge with real-world contexts and career preparation. In the final year, students engage with advanced topics such as Interfaith Dialogue, The Bible and Christian Theology, and Religion, Science, and Environmental Ethics, culminating in a Major Project that demonstrates independent research and critical analysis skills. Throughout the course, students develop a deep understanding of religious beliefs, philosophical arguments, and ethical considerations, while honing research, communication, and analytical abilities. The program emphasizes engagement with contemporary issues, intercultural awareness, and practical strategies for contributing to society. Graduates emerge equipped to navigate complex moral and religious landscapes, fostering dialogue, critical thinking, and informed action in both local and global contexts.
