Discovery Day 2024 Dr Linden Bicket welcomes you to join us for our 2024 Discovery Day taking place on 11 June. View media transcript Hello, my name is Dr. Linden Bicket, and I'm a lecturer here in the School of Divinity at the University of Edinburgh. I'm here today to tell you about our annual discovery day for RMPS pupils and their teachers, which this year is on 11 June. This is a really fascinating opportunity to discuss the disciplines of theology and religious studies in all their various different incarnations and contexts. Last year we had pupils come here and join in interactive taster lectures on topics like Buddhism, the history of witchcraft in Scotland, and faith and the climate catastrophe. So we really hope that you'll join us and that you will have the opportunity to feel what it's like to be a student here at the University of Edinburgh studying theology and religious studies. We'll show you some of the treasures from our new college collections. And we'll welcome you to spaces like this. Our beautiful Rainy Hall, which is at the centre of the School of Divinity at the University of Edinburgh. Come along, join us, and we can't wait to discuss these topics with you. Event Description We are thrilled to have the opportunity to welcome schools from across Scotland to our Theology and Religious Studies Discovery Day which will be held at New College on Tuesday 11 June 2024. Our Discovery Day is a great way to introduce pupils to the wide and exciting range of topics and approaches available within Theology and Religious Studies. The day also allows us to discuss the value of studying these subjects and to showcase what it’s like to study them at university. Pupils attend taster lectures, and they engage in discussion about subjects that spark their interest and stir their passions.
