Cambridge Theology and Religious Studies Degree Top in Guardian League Table

We are delighted to announce that we have been ranked top in the Guardian University Guide 2014 league table for Religious Studies and Theology. This reflects our commitment to achieving excellence in teaching and feedback which are reflected by high levels of student satisfaction.

Full details about studying Theology and Religious Studies are available on our Undergraduate Applications pages or come and visit us as part of the Cambridge Open Days on 4 and 5 July 2013.

The Faculty is taking applications for the Starbridge Lectureship in Theology and Natural Science.

We are a strong academic community combining outstanding research with teaching for more than 300 students. We are housed in a fine modern building, specially constructed in the round, adjacent to related Faculties in the Arts and Humanities and Social Sciences, on the Sidgwick site in Cambridge.

A notable strength of the Faculty of Divinity is the great variety of backgrounds and nationalities of its staff and students.

Our programmes offer disciplined reflection on pressing religious, philosophical, ethical and theological questions, both historical and contemporary. Our degrees equip graduates to excel in a wide range of careers in a complex world of competing values.

The quality of our teaching programmes rests upon our research, the excellence of which is internationally recognised. We are  home to scholars who are leading authorities in their subjects and to some major innovative research projects.
