Start date: July 2004

This project looks at and develops 'Using Theology and Religious Studies', a 20 credit module at level three specifically designed for final year students in religious and theological studies at Cardiff University. The course is designed to enable students to apply their intellectual, subject based and transferable skills beyond religious studies (RS) so they can explain the relevance of them to people outside RS in the wider world of employment and social life. UTRS is an innovative course that helps final year TRS students to be able to identify, evaluate and develop their overall subject knowledge as well as to recognise and develop transferable skills, knowledge and competences.

One of the results of this project was a report in Discourse, volume 4, volume 2, 'Using Religious and Theological Studies'.
