Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Religion, Philosophy and Ethics (VV65)

The Bachelor of Arts in Religion, Philosophy and Ethics is as much about engaging with a rich diversity of religious traditions, philosophical ideas and ethical values as it is about examining the ways in which they shape and change the world people live in today.

Learners will study, critically and in depth, the world religions, emergent spiritualities, philosophy from the Greeks to transhumanism, and ethical theories – not just as a way of understanding how they have influenced our past but their central role in our future. They will be encouraged to look at how these ideas, beliefs and practices inform and interact with aspects of contemporary social justice, the environment, politics, race and gender.

The University of Gloucestershire also believe students have to experience the subject outside of the classroom. They will also have opportunity to take part in field trips – both national and international – as well work with local charities and communities who are committed to social justice.
