This course is aimed at those who wish to study their Christian faith at an academic level with the intention of deepening their understanding of the central themes in Christian theology as it is done in the 800-year old Dominican tradition.
This BA (Hons) Theology by blended learning is particularly suitable for those who cannot attend classes regularly. The modules are delivered by suitably qualified and experienced scholars who are specialists in their disciplines. The BA provides an excellent foundation for further studies, teaching, pastoral and retreat work. An option exists to exit the course with the academic credits/qualification earned at each stage.
