The Department of Theology and Religious Studies offers a wide-ranging perspective on the phenomenon of religion, and Christianity in particular. It does so by drawing on a great number of sub-disciplines, such as philosophy, history, literary criticism, sociology, the study of art, and so forth.
In First Year, the Department offers two undergraduate modules:
In the Academic Year 2009/2010 the modules offered are:
Religion and World Religions
Introduction to Systematic Theology
These modules are open to First Year students (who can combine theology with three other Arts subjects) and to First Year BEd students who take theology as an academic subject. First Year BEd students who take theology as an academic subject are exempt from attending the lectures that lead to the Education Department’s Diploma in Religion (Diplóma: Eolas ar Chreideamh agus ar a Mhúineadh).
