Admissions test
No pre-registered admissions test for 2027 entry. Oxford retired the legacy written test for this course family — applicants are assessed on UCAS application, predicted grades, personal statement and interview alone.
Written work
Submit one or two pieces of recent marked school work in the subject (or a closely related humanities subject), normally with the teacher's comments visible. Standard Oxford written-work deadline is 10 November 2026 — each course's admissions page confirms the exact rules.
Interview
Two college interviews of around 25 minutes each. Subject-specific discussion or problem-solving interviews typical of Oxford tutorial teaching. Most interviews are in person at the college; many colleges still offer online interviews for international applicants.

Question Types You’ll See

Discussing a religious, philosophical or ethical questionStudying a short text or imageDeveloping ideas from submitted written work

Theology and Religion interviews are held online via Microsoft Teams. The typical panel size is two academics or interviewers.

The interview is not a performance of pre-learned theology. It is closer to a guided academic discussion: you may be asked to interpret an argument, respond to a passage, clarify a distinction or rethink an answer when challenged.

Prepare by practising slow reading and clear explanation. For Theology and Religion, that might mean explaining how a textual detail, ethical claim or religious concept changes the argument you are making, rather than trying to deliver a memorised speech.

Section 06

合否決定のしくみ

Oxford's official sources support a holistic and contextual assessment of the UCAS form, academic record, reference, written work and interview.

That matters because a strong application is not built around a single trick. Written work, interview discussion and school record all need to point in the same direction: careful reading, intellectual honesty and the ability to develop an argument.

Oxford uses contextual data to understand achievements in context. Extenuating circumstances should be explained by the applicant, referee or school/college contact.

Section 07

Personal Statement のコツ

Handwritten notes and a laptop open to a draft document

Because Theology and Religion has no course-specific required school subject, your personal statement should show how you have built academic interest beyond the timetable. Avoid a broad claim that religion is important in society; make the paragraph work by naming a text, tradition, language, method or debate that changed how you think.

Use the statement to show movement in your thinking. A useful paragraph might begin with one question, explain what reading changed, then end with the next question you would want to investigate.

The strongest personal statements support the rest of the application by showing precise academic motivation. For this course, that might mean close engagement with a religious text, a philosophical problem, a historical controversy, or the study of religion as a human and cultural phenomenon.

  6. 06振り返り

Oxford describes supercurricular study as exploring, engaging and reflecting on ideas beyond what is taught in class. For Theology and Religion, strong supercurricular work can include reading books and articles, watching lectures or documentaries, listening to podcasts, attending public lectures, entering essay competitions, taking free short courses, or doing small independent projects. The Faculty does not prescribe a set reading list for applicants; it says the most important thing is to pursue what genuinely interests you. Suggested routes include going deeper into school topics through primary texts, exploring unfamiliar themes through accessible introductory books, and using fiction, poetry, film or music to reflect on religious and philosophical ideas. The key is to be able to explain what you learned, what questions it raised, and how your thinking changed.

Competitions

Competitions are not required for a strong application. What they do is demonstrate independent intellectual engagement with theology, ethics or religious studies.

提出書類

Theology and Religion requires one piece of written work. It must be in English, normally current or recent school or college work, and no more than 2,000 words.

The deadline for submitted written work is 10 November 2026. Choose work that shows how you handle evidence and argument, not simply the piece with the most impressive title.

Section 11

Theology and Religionの知識を深める

That is why this draft avoids a long unofficial reading list. Two or three well-chosen texts discussed precisely are stronger evidence than a page of titles you cannot explain.

The World's Religions by Huston Smith is the standard starting point for comparative religious study. For Christian theology, God: A Biography by Jack Miles reads the Hebrew Bible as a character study and raises the interpretive questions Oxford theology interviews value.

For video, Faculty of Theology and Religion, University of Oxford publishes faculty talks on theology, religious ethics and the philosophy of religion. In Our Time from BBC Radio 4 has episodes on the existence of God, Aquinas, Islamic philosophy, the Reformation and biblical hermeneutics.

For structured study, Introduction to the Hebrew Bible from Yale Open Courses is a rigorous academic treatment of the Old Testament.Introduction to Islamon Coursera provides a university-level route into Islamic theology, law and history.

カレッジ選択と再振り分け

39 colleges offer this subject. ~20% of applicants submit an open application. ~33% of places come through the pool.

Oxford uses Reallocation as the relevant process name. Typically, around a third of successful applicants receive an offer from a college they did not specify.

It is worth choosing a college for practical reasons: accommodation, location, subject tutors, atmosphere and accessibility. In reality, college choice should not be treated as a way to game the admissions process.

卒業後のキャリア

Discover Uni occupation data is based on 15 students, a 50% response rate, for students graduating in 2022-23; the percentages are rounded and sum to 95%.

That sample size is small, so fine differences between sectors should not be over-read. Theology and Religion is better understood as a degree that builds argument, writing, interpretation, research habits and the ability to handle religious, textual and ethical material carefully, rather than training for one single profession.

Section 14

特別な事情について

Oxford uses contextual data to understand achievements in context. This can include how your academic record sits against your school context and what opportunities were realistically available.

Extenuating circumstances should be explained by the applicant, referee or school/college contact. Make disruption clear, factual and specific, then return the application to academic evidence rather than writing the whole case around the disruption.
