- graduate degree in Theology & RS and a masters degree in Religion and Public Life from Leeds University I never had any particular interest in Religious Studies until I came to study the subject at A level. The only reason I did it at that stage was eally to make up the numbers of my subjects. Once I began studying and being taught religion as an academic subject with depth rather than simply the Bible stories I was used to from my Anglican upbringing, I decided to go to university to study it further. During this time I made my mind up to pursue religion as a career and become a teacher. I only hope that I can be successful in arousing the interest of young people with religious studies in the same way the school chaplain did with me during my A levels.
