Our students consistently tell us that they appreciate the sense of community and support they find within the School of Divinity and that our lecturers are approachable and passionate about their subject.

A sense of culture and community

"People were encouraged to work together through discussion which encouraged a familiar atmosphere".

"It has been very good for widening my understanding to not criticise religions, it's given me certain tools to be able to be compassionate, that are different from my own culture".

Small, stimulating classes

"Overall, this has been an amazing learning experience. The academic staff has been incredibly helpful and available when queries have arisen. The course content has been hugely stimulating, and tough in a good way. Presentation of seminars etc. will be extremely useful within an employment/life context beyond study".

Helpful and encouraging staff

"I have enjoyed the assistance and encouragement that I have received from lecturers.  My department is relatively small, so I feel that I get a lot of support. The staff know who I am, which has been a huge bonus and has affected my studies in a very positive way".
