The Philosophy, Religion and Ethics programme not only explores the big philosophical and religious questions, but also explores the impact that philosophical, religious, and ethical debates have on the contemporary world. You will be able to explore a wide range of historical, political, and social issues and find new ways to address not only age-old debates, but also contemporary challenges.

This programme will develop your understanding of key debates in philosophy, religion and ethics, as well a developing your own critical responses to these debates.

The programme is delivered via distance learning, which allows you a flexible approach to study. However, there will still be the opportunity to work with other students via online seminars, and the opportunity for one-to-one online tutorials.
