“I chose to study Theology and Religion at Durham University because of the breadth of subjects covered. I am able to study Ethics, Science and Doctrine as well as Biblical Theology. These areas are currently available all the way through the course not just at final year which was really important to me. The teaching is very good. As the lecturers are all at the leading edge of their areas the teaching is always very exciting and relevant to the wider theological and secular world. I feel that we are working at the front of the theological field and we are kept aware of what is happening in the greater world. The study in theology and other areas is literally changing the way we live and the community we live in.” Talitha Devey, Theology and Religion student
