Every few years, all disciplines in eachuniversity in the country are assessed forthe level and impact of their research. Wehave a top teaching team here, withmany who are known internationally fortheir work, and many who have writtenthe key textbooks in this area. This wastested by an independent committee in1996 and 2001, when Religions andTheology was awarded a 5*, whichtranslates as “internationally renowned”.We were the only university in thecountry to maintain the 5* twice in arow – and we are delighted to reportthat we were once again ranked amongthe elite departments in the new-styleResearch Assessment Exercise in 2008.

In 2001, every Religions and Theologydepartment in each university in thecountry was assessed for the quality of its teaching of the subject. Religions andTheology at Manchester achieved themaximum mark (24). Only three achievedthat top mark, and only Manchesterachieved top grades for both researchand teaching.

We offer an impressively wide range andvariety of courses. You can take units inancient Hebrew, Greek, or Sanskrit, learnabout Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish andIslamic traditions, pursue an interest inthe Bible or Christian theology, ordiscover the different approaches toreligion offered by sociology,anthropology and philosophy. No otherBritish university offers the range andvariety that can be found at Manchester.

Furthermore, the education offered hereis resourced by the John RylandsUniversity Library. This is one of the majoruniversity libraries in this country, whichboasts a fabulous collection of books and archives in the areas of religion and theology.

A final reason for choosing Religions andTheology at Manchester is the friendlyatmosphere and great relationshipbetween staff and students. Come for avisit and see for yourself.

Joint Honoursundergraduatedegree

BA (Hons)ComparativeReligion and SocialAnthropology This course possesses a stronglyinterdisciplinary flavour. Although thedisciplines of Comparative Religion andSocial Anthropology indisputably differfrom one another in a variety of ways,scholars and students in each arearecognise the existence of an interfacebetween the two. Increasingly, forinstance, scholars of religion useanthropological concepts and tools toformulate and approach questionspertaining to religious phenomena, whilereligious ritual and magico-religiouspractices have long been standard topicsin the research of anthropologists.

The course allows you to work both inthose areas where the two disciplinesfruitfully come together (egAnthropology of Religion) and in thosewhere their interaction is less direct (egthe Politics of Contemporary GlobalIssues). Through the Granada Centre for Visual Anthropology, you will haveopportunities to study ethnographic film and video.

Manchester is a city of contrasts. A bigcity with a compact and friendly citycentre. A trendsetting music and stylecapital that still has a place for traditionalstreet markets and local pubs. A bustlingmetropolis, whose famous Victorianarchitecture sits comfortably alongsidestunning new developments.

Manchester is the shopping capital of theNorth West. There’s an enviable range offlagship high street chains and designerstores. Highlights include Selfridges andHarvey Nichols in the heart of the city,but there are plenty of independentshops with a more alternative feel in theNorthern Quarter.

As a student here, you’ll be spoilt forchoice for food, with a range ofrestaurants to rival any international city.Manchester has the largest Chinesecommunity outside of London, with ahuge range of restaurants. Other FarEastern communities are also wellrepresented, from Thai to Vietnamese,Malaysian to Indonesian. A famousManchester experience is the neon-litcurry mile in Rusholme. The range isenormous – unsurprising for Europe’shighest concentration of Asian eateries.

Manchester has launched some of thegreat names in music history – and thislegacy lives on today in the city’s vibrant

music scene. For big name live music,there’s the award-winning Academy atour own Students’ Union, the Apollo andthe MEN Arena. For smaller bands andunsigned talent, you’ll find a host ofsmall venues. There are also excellent folkand northern soul and jazz scenes.

If classical’s more your thing, the Halléand BBC Philharmonic Orchestras play atthe Bridgewater Hall, and closer to homeare the performances of University andRoyal Northern College of Music students.

Manchester’s landmark galleries andmuseums – like Daniel Libeskind’sImperial War Museum North, theMuseum of Science and Industry, theManchester Art Gallery, plus theUniversity’s own Whitworth Art Gallery,John Rylands Library and ManchesterMuseum – all give you plenty ofopportunity to see fantastic permanentand touring exhibitions.

Those of a more theatrical persuasion canmake a night of it at one of the manytheatre and concert venues Manchesterhas to offer. The Lowry arts centre, whichincludes two theatres as well as galleriesand restaurants, presents contemporaryproductions, including Opera North. Backin town, the Royal Exchange’s in-the-round productions include everythingfrom Shakespeare to Noel Coward.

Fans of musicals and West End hits headto the Palace Theatre and the OperaHouse, which hosts productions such asPhantom of the Opera and Chitty ChittyBang Bang.

Manchester is top of the internationalsporting league. Our footballing pedigreespeaks for itself, as the home to rivalsManchester City and – probably the city’smost famous export – ManchesterUnited. If you’re not a football fan,there’s lots more on offer: national andinternational cricket at Lancashire’s OldTrafford Ground, rugby union at SaleSharks and super league rugby at nearbyWarrington and Wigan.

The legacy of world-class sporting facilitiesleft by the 2002 Commonwealth Games –including the Manchester AquaticsCentre, on the University campus and theNational Cycling Centre – has been builtupon ever since. The most recent andstriking addition is the UK’s longest andwidest indoor ski slope.

Finally, if you get tired of all this cityliving, a short trip will take you to twobeautiful national parks – the LakeDistrict to the north and the Peak Districtto the east. The historic towns of Chesterand York are also in easy reach, as arethe varied delights of the north-westcoast. What more could you want?
