Five Reasons to Study Religious Studies with Philosophy: • Wide range of modules on relevant topics such as the nature of religion, conceptions of God, or the philosophy of reality. • Modules based on lecturers' distinctive research expertise in Abrahamic faiths and Modern Philosophy. • Innovative immersive teaching in small groups and one-to-one tutorials. • Space for independent thinking and opportunities to pursue your own interests. • Chance to combine your studies with modules from other humanities subjects.

The religion component focuses primarily on religion in the contemporary world, with acknowledgement of the significance of religion in shaping history. The programme looks at specific religions, highlighting various themes in which religion has an influence or a role. World faiths are explored in the form of Abrahamic religions and Asian traditions as well as Indigenous religions, with specific focus on South America, as well as the new religious movements and alternative spiritualities that became significant in the West from the mid-20th century onwards. Taking into account that student choices and requirements can differ radically, as well as ensuring a rounded knowledge of philosophy generally, our Philosophy faculty offers modules covering a wide range of topics and issues. Some of the areas of study include, for example, ethics, self and identity, knowledge and reality, equality, justice, existentialism, animal ethics, political philosophy, environmental issues, freedom, Buddhist philosophy, and the history of ideas (spanning from the Pre-Socratic period through to the early modern period and contemporary philosophy). You will have the opportunity to study the works of some of the greatest philosophers of all time, including, for example, Plato, Aristotle, Russell, Sartre and Wittgenstein. Options to study abroad may also be available. The programme is made up of the following combinations of core, compulsory and optional modules.
