Master of Arts in Philosophy and Religion

Program Overview

  • Join a unique department that brings together scholars specializing in Global religions and a wide range of philosophical traditions
  • Study a course designed to explore religion through the lens of different disciplines
  • Go beyond Western philosophy with modules designed to explore philosophy from a global perspective
  • Learn from experts who specialise in research areas such as reproductive ethics, roles of women in Islam, philosophy of psychiatry and global Christianity

We start this course with our modules Studying Religion and What is Philosophy? with both modules covering a lot of ground. In Studying Religion you’ll explore areas like social and cultural transformations of religion and spirituality, as well as sharpening your skills in making sense of conflicting data from different sources and forming an evidence-based argument. In What is Philosophy? you’ll explore the methods used and debates within the subject. At the same time, our teaching team will discuss their fascinating research on everything from the ethics of work to feminist philosophy.
