Oxford has been at the very heart of religious debate, reform and turmoil in the British Isles for eight centuries so that the faculty here wears a mantle of history not available in most other universities. At the same time Theology and Religion at Oxford is embracing wholeheartedly the challenges of the 21st century with the opportunity to study all the major world religions and their primary languages. Students can also explore the relationship between religion and science, and the place of religious ethics in public life.
The Faculty of Theology and Religion has more than 100 members ranging from experts in the ancient languages and literature of the worldÕs religions to church historians and systematic theologians. Its reputation and excellent library facilities attract scholars from all over the world as visiting lecturers.
CareersWhile some Theology and Religion graduates go on to further academic study, other recent graduates have pursued careers in law, the Civil Service, social work, education, the media, publishing, banking, management consultancy, accountancy, personnel management, teaching, the police force and the churches. See www.theology.ox.ac.uk for more information about careers after a Theology and Religion degree.
Rob is now a manager in Accenture: ÔPeople are always surprised when I tell them what my degree was! However, it really helped shape my analytical skills through the tutorial system. The breadth of subject matter in Theology prepared me for the different subjects I encounter each day as a management consultant.Õ
