The city, Birmingham has metamorphosed into a culturally and religiously diverse community in Europe; hence, I chose to study at the University of Birmingham, trusting that it is an ideal place for intense learning of Theology and Religious Studies.

That Theology and Religion encapsulates a vast study of many religions; its histories, practices, traditions, and politics, with the aim of understanding the ideologies that undergirds them in the contemporary world. My favourite module is Gender, Sexualities and Religion. As for the project, I intend to work with the Guild of Students on a health-related project and venture into any religious inclined project of my choice. Guest lectures include From Surviving to Thriving: Positive Psychology Strategies to get the most out of your time at the University; the lecture was delivered by Prof. Christian Van Nieuwerburgh.

I have a better grasp of other religions and their spiritualties; this knowledge is necessary to understand and relate better with people from other religions. I have also learnt team-spirit and team-work.

Life as a student in Birmingham has been very interesting. I have been tremendously happy and impressed with the fact that the University met all my expectations; I am a proud student of the University.

I have enjoyed the orderliness, serenity and cleanliness of the University. Everything is just so organised and structured. Furthermore, the resources and facilities available at the University for my course are unparalleled! Not to mention the university’s longstanding academic and research reputation.

The subjects offered in this program are specifically in line with my career goals. With this degree, I believe I will be better equipped for religious ministry and will deepen my understanding and knowledge of God.
