This is the 4 year course which includes a Professional Placement Year. Explore the world and the challenges it faces through different traditions of thought, belief, and values. - Global – gain an international perspective on religion, philosophy and ethics. - Contemporary – explore current challenges, debates and different ways of thinking. - Applied – relate your thinking to solve practical problems. This Religions, Philosophies and Ethics course is recognised for drawing together different disciplines and traditions of thought. You’ll address these individually, as well as exploring the connections between them. You’ll gain insights into fundamentally different ways of seeing and explaining the world, reflecting on your own beliefs, values and assumptions. Intellectually challenging, you’ll consider practical responses to current issues, through projects with environmental charities, faith groups, and community organisations. **More about the Professional Placement Year** A Professional Placement Year (PPY), traditionally known as a sandwich year, is where a student undertakes a period of work with an external organisation for between 9-13 months. The placement occurs between the students' second and third years of undergraduate study. Students can engage in up to 3 placements to make up the total time and are required to source the placement(s) themselves with support from the Careers and Employability Team.

In Year 1 you’ll be introduced to the study of religions as an academic discipline, including the study of selected contemporary religious traditions. You’ll be introduced to the principles of philosophical and ethical enquiry, and can select from a range of option modules. Year 2 builds on these foundations through the detailed exploration of a particular faith community and through further work on the development of philosophical thinking in a global context. There are optional modules which explore contemporary morality, environmental ethics and politics, and some of the major religious traditions. Year 3 - Professional Placement Year. Final Year - allows you to complete a detailed study of your own design, together with a wide range of options drawing on religious, philosophical, cultural and historical subjects. Please see our website for more information.

Assessment is primarily by coursework such as essays, reports, presentations, and online discussion boards. There are some timed assessments, as well as opportunities to work on creative projects such as making a film or designing a website.
