Undergraduate Employability and Careers

We are proud of our graduates who go into a wide range of careers. Have a look at the list below, and at the link to the video below, where some of our former students talk about their journey from studying one of our degree programmes, to the careers they now enjoy. You may find it explodes some stereotypes about where a degree in Theology and Religion can lead you!

Our degree programmes prepare you to be creative, analytical, empathic, and communicative. These are characteristics that are highly desirable for employers. In some cases, employers also want to employ graduates with a deep understanding of what makes different people and groups tick. Here subject-specific knowledge about belief, faith, and worldviews is highly valued.
