About this course
If you are finding it hard to decide between two subjects you enjoy, you could tailor your degree with a combined honours course.

**English Literature**
If you have a passion for reading books, and thinking about the ideas and debates they reflect and inspire, then you’ll enjoy studying English Literature with us. You’ll explore the way that literature helps us to imagine what it is like to walk in other people’s shoes, and how it can take us on journeys of self-discovery. You’ll engage in topical discussions about how books empower people to tell their own stories, and how they help us redefine notions of gender, sexuality, ethnicity, class and other markers of identity. Booklovers will feel right at home here.
**Theology**
If you’re drawn to thinking about God and Christian faith our Theology degree offers you a course that encourages open-mindedness and lively debate. You’ll explore how people of faith have instilled life with religious meaning and seek to understand how Christian beliefs and values are relevant to the world. As well as investigating what Christianity in action looks like today you’ll study other important religious traditions.

Top job areas of graduates
Theology can actually be a very vocational subject —by far the most common move for theology graduates is to go into the clergy and at the moment we have a serious shortage of people willing to go into what is one of the oldest graduate careers. If you want to study theology but don't want to follow a religious career, then there are plenty of options available. 2015 graduates went into all sorts of jobs requiring a degree, from education and community work, to marketing, HR and financial analysis. Postgraduate study is also popular — a lot of theology graduates train as teachers, or go into Masters or even doctoral study - where philosophy and law are very popular postgraduate subjects of study.
