Course Structure

The Bachelor’s degree programme in Christianity and Culture with a weighting of 25% consists of three modules.

• As part of the basic module, students attend a preparatory seminar in which they acquire fundamental knowledge of methodical and academic aspects of their chosen specialism.
• In the advanced module, the skills acquired in the basic module are applied to examples discussed in a main seminar, whilst knowledge is furthered in an overarching lecture in the relevant subject area.
• The subsequent specialised module gives students the opportunity to attend selected lectures and seminars in the Faculty of Theology. The courses chosen should be of relevance to their specialism and to other areas of theology.
