Religion, Theology & Spirituality and Geography

RELIGION, THEOLOGY AND SPIRITUALITY

Religion, Theology and Spirituality at Liverpool Hope University is a distinctive, contemporary course that explores religion as something lived, debated, questioned and experienced in today’s world. It is the first undergraduate degree in the UK to include “Spirituality” in its title, giving you the chance to study both traditional religions and the growing number of people who describe themselves as spiritual but not religious. 

You’ll explore major world religions including Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism and African Indigenous religions, alongside themes such as sacred texts, mysticism, ritual, symbolism, suffering, evil, trauma, death and the afterlife. You’ll learn how religious traditions shape society and culture, past and present. The course also tackles urgent contemporary issues such as mental health, disability, gender and sexuality, religious violence, inter‑religious dialogue and the environment. 

Teaching is research‑led and delivered by a passionate team of well‑published scholars. You’ll be encouraged to think critically, ask big questions, and engage respectfully with diverse beliefs and worldviews. Studying in Liverpool, a city shaped by global cultures and faith communities, gives real‑world depth to your learning and helps you understand religion’s role in society today. 

Hear a warm welcome from Senior Lecturer Dr Lisa Nahajec.

GEOGRAPHY

If you're curious about the world and want to understand the biggest challenges facing society today, Geography at Liverpool Hope gives you the knowledge and practical skills to make a difference. You'll explore topics including climate change, sustainability, environmental change, global development, and the relationships between people, places, and landscapes. 

This course is accredited by the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG), the UK's professional body for geography. This means it has been independently recognised for its quality and helps ensure you'll develop the knowledge and skills employers value. You'll combine classroom learning with hands-on experience, using industry-standard Geographical Information Systems (GIS), specialist laboratories and our state-of-the-art Simulation Suite, where you can investigate real environmental and geographical challenges in a safe, immersive setting before applying your skills in the field. 

Learning extends beyond campus through fieldwork across North West England, North Wales, the Lake District and the Peak District, as well as residential field courses in Berlin and Malta, where you will experience different places and cultures first-hand. 

Taught by expert academics, you'll graduate with practical experience, research skills, digital expertise and the confidence to pursue careers in geography, environmental management, planning, sustainability, and many other sectors.
