Theology and Religious Studies in Higher Education: Global Perspectives
Theology and religious studies co-exist in the majority of departments in higher education institutions within the UK, yet there has been very little debate or discussion on how these two disciplines relate to one another in this context and on a more general level. This new collection of essays, co-edited by Dr Darlene Bird, formerly Subject Co-ordinator for Theology, and Dr Simon Smith, Co-director, aims to redress the balance and to add to fruitful discussion in this area.
Doing Philosophy: a practical guide for students
This book, co-authored by the Philosophy team of the Subject Centre, explores the challenges and excitement of studying for a degree in philosophy. It presents practical strategies for developing the necessary skills that will allow students to get the most out of their degree. The book examines what it means to think, read, discuss and write philosophically.
The Faith Guides
Covering Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and Sikhism, and written by respected academics with many years' research and teaching experience, and in conjunction with the relevant religious communities, this series covers key religious and cultural sensitivities that may arise within a university environment.
The Employability Guides
These subject specific guides have been designed for students to help them identify and articulate how the skills that their degree is developing in them prepare them for the world of work.
The Ethics Teaching Guide
