3-Term Pathway - Pre-Master's in Social Sciences and Law - Continue to Master of Arts - Philosophy and Religion

This program will prepare students for entry to a postgraduate degree in a wide range of subjects at Lancaster University, including law, design and a world top 10 linguistics program (QS World University Rankings by Subject 2023).

This cross-disciplinary programme provides students with the opportunity to pursue and develop their interests in philosophy and religious studies, and to focus on the interface between the two. It builds on core modules, which aim to introduce students to central disciplinary skills and knowledge, with choice from a range of optional modules across both disciplines. Students will take five taught modules, each assessed by a 5,000 word essay. The programme culminates in the writing of a 20,000-word dissertation, on a topic that brings the two disciplines together.

The advanced research skills, developed through the programme, can be relevant to a range of professions. Equally, if students intend to go on to a PhD, this programme provides an opportunity to deepen their knowledge of the two disciplines.
