Develop your understanding of the theological and conceptual side of religion with a degree that connects the varied study of religion and philosophy with ethics. During this Religion, Politics and Ethics BA, you'll explore how eternal questions at the heart of religion and philosophy have been considered through the ages and in every part of the world. For example, you’ll think about big questions like whether ‘good’ and ‘evil’ are real or just human constructs imposed on an empty universe, or consider when loyalty to the state turns into bigotry, conformity and oppression. You will study several major religions, including Buddhism, Judaism, Islam, Christianity and more, to appreciate the distinct intellectual debates within each tradition. You’ll also be taught philosophy and ethics in a way that introduces conversations with religious questions and helps you understand how religious and secular philosophers have thought about religion over time. This wide-ranging curriculum, including a list of varied modules, will give you the opportunity to study ethical and religious concepts philosophically in the context of literature, film and history.
“Not only does King's have academics specialising in Islam and Buddhism, but its location enriches the course by providing opportunity for field trips to locations such as: St. Paul's Cathedral, the East London Mosque, and synagogues in Golders Green.”
