Insider tips
Things Theology, Religion, and Philosophy of Religion applicants commonly miss.
- 01
You do not need GCSE or A-Level Religious Studies. Tutors weight broader humanities reading (philosophy, history, literature) just as highly.
- 02
Languages help: many tutors look kindly on applicants who have begun learning Greek or Hebrew, but neither is required.
