The BA (Hons) Theological Studies* gives you a broad knowledge and understanding of the main disciplines of Christian theology and the personal and professional capabilities required for a variety of ministries or general employment.
The degree is led by HTC, a non-denominational college recognized by the Church of Scotland, the Associated Presbyterian Churches, the United Free Church of Scotland, and other denominations as a training provider.
You will read a wide range of theology across all main traditions and have access to special collections in HTC's impressive library.
A work placement will enable you to relate your acquired theoretical knowledge to real-life situations. Visiting speakers will give you a flavor of the different areas of service that may be of interest for future employment or volunteering, for example, churches, youth work, hospital chaplaincy, army chaplaincy, seminaries, and mission agencies in the UK and abroad.
