Theology and Religion
Why Choose Pembroke?
We have a lively community of theologians at both undergraduate and graduate levels, and our own unique postdoctoral research programme in the subject called ‘Religion and the Frontier Challenges’. There are two Theology Fellows and other attached scholars, and so the subject is particularly well-resourced in terms of its teaching community.
Our two lead Theology tutors are Professor Justin Jones, a specialist in world religions with a particular focus in modern and contemporary Islam, and the Rev. Dr Andrew Teal, our College Chaplain whose, research interests include historical & systematic theology, history of Christianity and the study of religions.
Pembroke hosts events to bring the large theology community together, including academic seminars, informal social gatherings and subject dinners. Students also benefit from valuable workshops on general study skills, including exam timetabling, revision skills and dissertation subjects.

Theology can also be taken as a joint honours course in the form of Philosophy and Theology and Religion and Asian and Middle Eastern Studies. Find out more about these courses on their respective pages.
