Bachelor of Divinity
The University of London Bachelor of Divinity (BD), one of the oldest and most highly respected in the world, will enable you to wrestle with complex issues which go to the heart of who we are as human beings. The range of subjects available makes it a fascinating programme of study.
Diploma and Certificate of Higher Education in Theology
These qualifications are intended to appeal to two different kinds of students. Firstly, those who would like a University of London award in theology, but do not feel ready to commit themselves to studying for a full degree. Secondly, those students who do not satisfy the University’s entrance requirements for admission to the degree (Certificate of Higher Education only).
The Diploma and Certificate give such students the opportunity to gain access to the degree programme if their studies are successful. If you obtain the Diploma or Certificate in Theology you may transfer your registration to the BD and automatically be credited with the modules passed.
Certificate of Higher Education in Philosophy, Religion and Ethics
This new Certificate focuses on the use of Philosophy as a tool for analysing the nature and truth of religious beliefs and values, and on the two religions – Christianity and Islam – which have the greatest number of adherents.
Candidates who successfully complete the Certificate in Philosophy, Religion and Ethics may be eligible to enter the second year of the BA in Philosophy, Religion and Ethics programme at Heythrop College, University of London.
