Ethics & Philosophy

Religious studies: Philosophy and Ethics helps students to gain a good understanding of different cultural and world views and learn how to academically evaluate ethical, philosophical and religious claims.

Students will study a variety of religious traditions and other worldviews, including the Abrahamic faiths, dharmic faiths such ads Hinduism and also Humanism and atheistic understandings of world issues. Students will gain substantive knowledge in different areas of study such as cosmology, eschatology, prejudice, theology, wealth in the world, human ethics and more. Students will also be equipped with the academic tools to explain and evaluate different worldviews and assess their own views and justifications.

Students will encounter difficult questions and will learn how to clearly give their point of view and how to academically critique those of other people. This will enable them to form their own views rationally and with an emphasis on using evidence.
