    Hi, was wondering if anyone did this course who could tell me a bit more about it? I just wanna get some opinions of people who've actually done the course and know what it's really like.
    Ok, so:
    - I'm not religious in any way. I'm sure this isn't a problem, but I was just wondering, are most people who do the course religious themselves?
    - What's the course actually like? Obviously it sounds good in the prospectus but do people generally hate it in real life?
    Hope someone can help. Thanks!

    Any course with a major amount of Theology will have a high proportion of religious types. Amount of secular students wont be high, I dont know this through experience, but common sense kinda tells me this.

    I'm one of those odd atheists with a big interest in Religions/Christianity.....If I didn't want to do a science degree so much, I probably would have done something like this (Or Irish....Or Philosophy (Apparently I dodged a bullet with that one though))

    A friend of mine did this course, at least then it was called Biblical and Theology studies. He wasn't a holy joe of any description and was very out going etc. I'd be vary of taking the above posters comments to heart, he's just making it up as he goes along.

    I do actually know a few people do "Arts" (Under it's varying titles, and my religion teacher from school did Theology there......) in TCD.......but anyway

    I feel in some weird way that this is appropriate.
