Religion and philosophy are fundamental parts of how people have sought to express their understanding of the purpose of life, and the foundation of personal and social behaviour.
In this thought-provoking degree combining two complementary disciplines, you will explore your own and other peoples' religious history and culture, and some of the fundamental questions of existence.
How should we live our lives? What should we believe? How should we set about trying to answer these questions, and how are we even able to think about them? Philosophy investigates these profound issues.
As the world's oldest academic discipline, Philosophy has developed a range of concepts and techniques for addressing complicated problems. We equip you to analyse and construct complex chains of reasoning, developing and refining your thinking skills to consider the pressing puzzles of our time.
Religion has been part of human experience from the earliest traces of human existence up to the present day. It has been the way most cultures have sought to express their understanding of why we live and how we ought to behave.
Unlike other UK degrees, we explore beyond the major world religions, investigating lesser known faiths such as Jainism and mysticism. We give you space to focus on the ethical dimension of all traditions as you carry our your studies.
We offer a challenging and flexible programme of modules, supported by a friendly atmosphere and excellent staff-student relationships. Experts in their fields, our lecturers are all active researchers, sharing the latest thinking in the classroom.
