Religion and Asian and Middle Eastern Studies
Why Choose Pembroke?
We have a lively community of students across Theology and Religion, and Asian and Middle Eastern Studies. Pembroke is also especially well-resourced for this course from a teaching perspective, since it has two Fellows in each of these subjects. Our two lead Theology and Religion tutors are Professor Justin Jones, a specialist in world religions with a particular focus on modern and contemporary Islam, and the Rev. Dr Andrew Teal, our College Chaplain whose research interests include historical and systematic theology, the history of Christianity and the study of religions. Our lead tutors in Asian and Middle Eastern Studies are Professor Fitzroy Morrisey and Professor Nicolai Sinai, who are both Tutorial Fellows in Arabic and are also responsible also for Persian, Turkish and Hebrew.
- Pembroke is an excellent college for joint schools, and our tutors in both these subjects work closely together to ensure that you get the most out of your studies. We host regular events to bring the respective communities from Theology and Religion and Asian and Middle Eastern Studies together.
Have you considered our joint honours courses?
Theology and Religion can also be taken as part of a joint honours degree with Philosophy (Philosophy and Theology) or as a single honours degree. Find out more about these courses on their respective course pages.
