Religious Studies (sometimes referred to as Theology) is the study of religion and includes everything from analysing ancient religious texts to discussing contemporary global politics. You should consider pursuing Religious Studies if you're fascinated by how religion has shaped the world we live in and the impact it has on society today.
Religious Studies graduates often find employment in a range of job sectors - from the clergy, charity and youth organisations through to traditional graduate jobs, including teaching, law and management.
However, knowledge of other cultures and religious beliefs can be particularly useful in many jobs where you are working with the public or communities. These include counselling and social services, marketing, sales and advertising, catering and hospitality, leisure, sport and tourism, retail sales and customer services, education and training, medicine and nursing, and service sector roles.
For more information, please do visit the 'Theology and Religion' page of the Unifrog website, videos from which I have included opposite to pique your interest.
