Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Philosophy, Ethics, and Religion (V620)

For students who want to understand the world people live in, they have to be able to understand the great religious traditions and philosophical questions that shape it. Liverpool Hope University's degree in Philosophy, Ethics and Religion is a rigorous program that offers an in-depth understanding of Islam, Buddhism, Judaism, Hinduism and Christianity.

The study of religion is grounded in an understanding of religions as they are lived and understood: field trips and research in real communities sit alongside the interpretation of texts, symbols and ideas. In philosophy, students will not only be reading the great texts of western thought for themselves, but also significant texts from wider global philosophies. There will also be an emphasis on developing their own ability to think critically and put forward reasoned arguments.

Students' studies will be led by internationally renowned lecturers who bring their own research to bear on their teaching. Liverpool Hope University's staff have special expertise in, for example, the study of Islam, Zen Buddhism, World Christianity, and contemporary philosophy of religion. They will guide and inspire students to clarify the questions they want to ask, and to explore the worldviews of others as they work out their own.
