BA (Hons) Ethics, Religion and Philosophy
Questions about religion and ethics are considered by us all at some point in our lives. And it’s these questions that lie at the heart of this course.
You’ll consider theories about goodness, what we morally owe to each other, the meaning of human existence, the nature of divinity, faith, and our relation to the transcendent from Eastern, African, and Western cultural perspectives and religious institutions. You’ll explore how philosophical reflections on morality and religion have shaped our ideas about humanity, and the challenges the modern world poses. Along the way, you’ll find your philosophical voice and develop a rich set of digital, analytical, and critical skills invaluable for your future – with the power to positively influence others and drive progressive change.
As a philosophy student, you will be joining a hub of research-active philosophers, with many of them being invited to present at major international conferences and workshops. Our staff work across key areas including metaethics, normative ethics and philosophy of religion – with this expertise behind us, we provide a rounded, balanced understanding of the subject.
What is the length of the course?
- 3 years full-time
- 4 years with placement/overseas study
