Why Study Religion, Philosophy and Ethics?

Our challenging and stimulating course will help you to gain sound knowledge and an in-depth appreciation of philosophical and ethical issues affecting contemporary society and you'll explore their relationship to different religious traditions. You'll have opportunities engage in lively debate and will explore issues from a critical perspective.
You'll be studying in the heart of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with the ancient buildings of Canterbury Cathedral, St Augustine’s Abbey and St Martin’s Church just a stone's throw away. Here you can immerse yourself in religion, surrounded by buildings that have inspired generations of people to develop themselves both spiritually and through education.
