My experience of studying at York St John was one where I felt completely in control and, at the same time, one where I was guided and supported when it was needed and asked for. I trusted that each of my lecturers were experienced experts in their field so I always felt at ease seeking advice on essay topic choices. Speaking of which, Theology at York St John is about more than knowing the historical facts and arguments over what is and isn’t heresy. My experience was that I could choose to write about and research areas that were meaningful to me and fit them within the module’s structure and overarching purpose. For example, for a module titled ‘Religion and Human Diversity,’ I felt drawn to write about the experience of the deaf community in the Christian community, and so I could. I felt that I could write about topics that really mattered and in doing so became knowledgeable about important and evermoving issues within theology today.
