Course Description
In what sense does evil exist? Are we ever truly free to act? What does morality or justice require? Does morality require God or religion? How do we know what we know – if we can ever know anything at all.
This course examines the fundamental life questions that have interested human beings for centuries; we’ll encourage you to develop your own approach to these ideas and expand your world view.
The course presents a unique opportunity to explore 'values' (religious and secular) in the abstract (through philosophy) and in the particular (through theology and religious studies). In doing so, you’ll acquire subject knowledge and methodological approaches within and across two complementary disciplines, philosophy and theology and religious studies.
A variety of global religious traditions are represented. You’ll study the history of each tradition and how they are lived and interpreted today.
Our staff have a diverse range of research interests, including the philosophy of art, sex and gender in Africa, the sociology of religion, and feminist philosophy. This is reflected in the wide choice of modules that you'll be able to choose from.
Additional highlights
Students have the choice between two different kinds of research project in your final year. Both offer you the guidance of an individual supervisor, but one also offers the scaffolded support of an associated module. The other allows you the freedom to pursue an independent research project of your own design.
There is the opportunity for genuine research-led teaching throughout the degree, culminating in a revolving menu of highly specialist modules in the final year.
