The degree

Choice and flexibility are hallmarks of the BA in Theological and Religious Studies (TRS). The degree allows students to choose from a range of papers, either giving them a broad range within the field, or, if they prefer, following a specific pathway that matches their interests.

In the first year (Part I), students offer a paper in a scriptural language (Greek, Hebrew, Arabic or Sanskrit), one paper in Bible (either Old Testament/Hebrew Bible or New Testament) and three further papers. In the second year (Part IIA), students choose four papers, but may also elect an additional paper from one of the introductory scriptural language papers. In their third year (Part IIB), students offer two broad papers and either two other papers, which might be a specialised or interdisciplinary subject area, or one specialised paper and a dissertation.

For precise details, see the regulations governing the Tripos in the Statutes & Ordinances. See too the programme specification in the menu on the left to know exactly what each course requires and offers.
