Theology 2026

Hi I’ve recently received offers for Theology at Bristol and Edinburgh and Exeter for Theology, Religion and Ethics. I’m waiting to hear back from Durham and Oxford for Theology but I was wondering if anyone had any experience with those three unis for theology?

my top choices would definitely be Durham or Oxford but i’m also trying to decide where I would firm if i don’t get offers at those two and what i should put as my insurance either way.

any advice or opinions would be greatly appreciated! :smile:

I'm not much of an advice giver myself, but congratulations on your existing offers! I just heard back from Durham today on the Philosophy and Theology BA, which luckily I was able to get an offer from! Goodluck to you, maybe perchance I'd be able to see you in Durham next year? 😄

hi!! i also applied to durham, bristol, and edinburgh for theology (i never hear about anyone applying for this lol so nice to meet you !!). i have had a contextual offer back from Durham, but not the other two yet. I have heard that Durham's response times are super slow for normal offers unfortunately, and i honestly just got lucky since it was contextual😭 - goodluck, i'm sure you'll get accepted, and maybe we can see each other at Durham in september !!
