- Overview
RS – Theology & Philosophy appeals to students who like to debate key philosophical issues and get to the heart of why people hold religious beliefs. They are interested in the world in which they live, in current affairs and how religion has been, to some extent, marginalised by modern developments, such as the developments of science. You do not have to have any religious commitment to study this course and can be from any religious background, the key quality for this course is to have a lively and enquiring mind!
You can also join the RS – Theology & Philosophy Academy to extend your studies, taking part in trips, debates and guest lectures to allow you to fully appreciate how the world can be interpreted and understood.
Many of our students progress to read a wide number of degrees at university as RS – Theology & Philosophy has transferable skills that will make you a very strong candidate when the time comes to leave us.
