This dedicated masters programme in science and religion is intended for students who wish to engage in the advanced interdisciplinary study of science and religion, including those who wish to prepare for PhD work. This is one of the world’s very few science and religion programmes. Much of the science and religion debate in the public sphere has taken place within a poorly informed view of the history and philosophy of science and its relationship with religion. This programme aims to inform and engage with the debate in depth, looking at it from scientific, philosophical, historical, ethical and theological perspectives. The history of science is studied from ancient times through the modern scientific revolution, together with philosophical trends in our understanding of reality. The main areas of dialogue between science and religion are explored in depth, including: cosmology evolution divine action and miracles consciousness the human person Islam and Science philosophy of science-engaged theology comparative science and religion science and natural theology
A UK 2:1 honours degree, a minimum US 3.25 GPA, or its international equivalent, in a core natural science subject (e.g. physics, chemistry or biology) or a humanities subject relevant to the science-religion dialogue (e.g. theology/religious studies, philosophy, or history).
