Overview

This BA Philosophy, Ethics and Religion degree provides you with the opportunity to explore deep and far-reaching issues. You will engage with questions that have puzzled great thinkers for millennia, and are still relevant today: How should we live? What can we really know? Can religious beliefs be justified? And what is their role in society? How can we apply philosophy to real world problems such as global poverty? Explore these fundamental issues using the philosophical method of reasoned argument and critical scrutiny. You’ll investigate ethical questions and the nature of religion in society across many fields including anthropology, history, and politics. Our broad curriculum allows you to approach topics from multiple perspectives, with the flexibility to pursue your own interests. You can also take modules outside your main degree subject, to diversify your learning. develop an understanding of basic philosophical arguments in matters of ethics, reason, and responsibility stud
