Religious Studies 


Study trips are a great way to enrich your learning and for  many of our students have been life-changing experiences.   In recent years students studying on degree courses  have experienced North and South India, Chicago, New York, China and one group saw New Year 2011 in Nepal. 

Accompanied by our friendly and extremely knowledgable staff the study trips provide a fabulous opportunity to see the sights, sounds and smells from parts of the world that the normal visitor wouldn't see.
