Course summary

In this broad, interdisciplinary degree, you will study the momentous questions in philosophy, religion, and ethics that matter most to you. From the value of religious faith and practices to the ethics of climate change or euthanasia, you'll learn to develop and defend your own critical perspectives within the context of global events.


Sex and science, god and mind, logic and the value of life itself – acquire the tools and the ability you need to consider the biggest questions humanity has ever asked.

A degree in philosophy, religion and ethics will see you exploring topics ranging from the value of religious faith, to the ethics of climate change and euthanasia. Develop and defend your own critical perspectives within the context of global events.You'll study modules across all three subjects, each taught by expert researchers. As you can imagine, there’s plenty of course content to explore, and we advise you on the best way to structure your options. In year three, you'll have the opportunity to write a dissertation, working closely with a member of academic staff to focus on an area that excites you.As a graduate, you’ll come away with an understanding of radically different perspectives. You’ll be able to summarise, write and speak about complex ideas clearly and concisely. And you’ll be able to draw on your experience applying philosophical knowledge through critical analysis and/or community engagement.
