Divinity

Professor David Ford, OBE (Regius Professor of Divinity Emeritus, University of Cambridge):

‘The Aberdeen University Department of Theology is not only impressively world class, with leading theologians and scholars in the field, it also has that rare thing, a strong and warm collegiality among its members. This is a community of intensive academic inquiry and conversation that has depth as well as breadth. And it has an enviable reputation for teaching, giving the sort of formation in theology and related fields that prepares students to contribute to many spheres in our twenty-first century societies.’

Professor Stanley Hauerwas:

‘One of the highlights of my academic life was to be appointed the Chair in Ethics at the University of Aberdeen. The Department of Theology really does theology in a constructive and collaborative process; I miss my stays with my former colleagues. Theology is alive and well in the far north of Scotland

Angelika, Second Year Student in Theology and Religious Studies:

'Studying Divinity in Aberdeen is fantastic because the faculty is very helpful and competent, and they are not afraid to ask the difficult questions in Theology. There is also a great sense of community among students and professors. I would recommend students choose Aberdeen for studying Theology and Religious Studies because the classes are engaging and challenging...'

Daniele, Second Year Student in Theology and Religious Studies:

'I came to the University of Aberdeen because of its reputation as an élite university, its distinguished theologians and scholars of religions, and its ancient tradition in theological studies. I deeply appreciate the diversity in the Divinity department. Its international faculty boasts a broad spectrum of research interests and methods.'
