Theology & Oriental Studies

Pembroke is an excellent College to choose for the joint Theology & Oriental Studies course because it has a uniquely large team of Oriental Studies experts as well as a Theology Tutor (Justin Jones) who is a specialist in world religions.

Theology and Oriental Studies students choose from a number of options across the degree programmes, and will typically choose over their three years to specialise in any one of the following traditions: Buddhism; Eastern Christianity; Hinduism; Islam; or Judaism.

The course also contains an intensive language learning component throughout in support of this study, which may be in Pali, Tibetan, Sanskrit, Arabic, Hebrew or Greek.

Find out more about the course on the University of Oxford website.
