This course combines philosophy and theology.

In philosophy, you will study units covering an introduction to philosophy, logic, realism and normativity and undertake an extended essay.

For theology, in your first year you will take an introductory unit on different religious traditions and a methodological unit on the study of religion as an academic subject. You will also take an optional unit from choices that may include Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Judaism, Hinduism, Chinese and Japanese religions, Ethics, and the Philosophy of Religion.

In your second year, you will continue your studies in philosophy and theology by combining mandatory units with other units of your choice. You will have the freedom to focus more on philosophy or on religion and theology depending on your interests.

In your third year, you will take three optional units, including a dissertation in an area of special interest to you.
