Overview

Within the History and Theology (Hons) course at University of Birmingham, you will investigate unfamiliar territory and question some of the myths, preconceptions and prejudices that surround History as you study religious movements, institutions and theological ideas that have had a profound influence on historical events and processes.

The degree gives you the opportunity to explore a wide range of options covering the medieval, early modern and modern periods, over a vast geographical range. You can study political, social, cultural and religious history as well as histories of race and gender.
