What it is	A certificate in theology is a one-year study of religious beliefs, texts, and traditions, usually rooted in Christian thought but often including comparative religion. Unlike a full degree, it offers focused training without the breadth of a bachelor's program and is designed for part-time study, so you can work or manage other commitments while completing it. It suits people exploring faith questions, seeking foundational knowledge for ministry or pastoral work, or wanting to deepen understanding of religious traditions alongside other pursuits.	An Arts degree at King's focuses on language, thought, and belief through subjects like English, French, Philosophy, and Theology. You study texts, ideas, and how people understand the world through writing, culture, and religion rather than science or professional training. This program suits students who enjoy reading, discussion, and deep thinking about meaning and expression.	An Honours Arts degree lets you study humanities and social sciences in depth, choosing from subjects like history, English, anthropology, environmental studies, and others. Unlike a general arts degree, an honours program requires more advanced courses in your chosen major and typically demands higher academic performance. This program suits students who want to explore ideas across cultures, societies, and texts, and who are willing to commit to deeper study in at least one subject area.
