Religion, Theology & Spirituality and Social Care (with Foundation Year)

RELIGION, THEOLOGY AND SPIRITUALITY

Liverpool, with its two iconic cathedrals, the oldest mosque in England, and a long history shaped by faith and cultural diversity, is the ideal setting for the Religion, Theology and Spirituality degree. This city is home to vibrant religious communities and a thriving cultural scene, making it the perfect backdrop to explore the wisdom, mysticism, and practices of Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, and Buddhism, alongside contemporary spiritual identities that go beyond traditional faiths.

The Religion, Theology and Spirituality course at Liverpool Hope offers the opportunity to study ancient wisdom, rituals, and sacred texts while critically engaging with pressing modern debates. You will examine profound ethical and theological questions around life, death, gender, sexuality, evil, suffering, ecology, violence, radicalisation, interfaith dialogue, secularisation, and spirituality in today’s world.

Through visits to places of worship and explorations of cultural expressions such as art, music, and even football, the Religion, Theology and Spirituality degree allows you to understand how communities create meaning, hope, and identity. The course also equips you with critical skills for careers where understanding diverse beliefs and navigating ethical challenges are key, including education, politics, community work, and the civil service.

SOCIAL CARE

As Social Care evolves in the UK, fresh chances appear for open-minded, creative graduates. This course aims to develop graduates who understand the root causes of social inequalities that lead to care needs. We seek those who are driven to shape services sensitive to these needs.

Our curriculum pulls from various academic fields to keep it engaging and challenging. We also value the lived experiences of Social Care users, ensuring their voices are integrated throughout the course.

The School of Social Sciences connects well with local and national groups. These organisations support people with social care needs. This helps us stay updated on current issues in Social Care, making sure our curriculum stays relevant.
