Philosophy and Religion

About this course

Philosophy and religion is a combination that addresses some of the most fundamental questions human beings have asked: What can we know and how? What ought we to do and why? Does God exist, and if so, what follows? How do religious traditions make sense of suffering, death, meaning, and moral obligation? The two disciplines have been in conversation for most of recorded history, and studying them together allows you to examine both the rational analysis that philosophy brings to these questions and the rich diversity of traditions through which human beings have answered them in practice. At the University of Manchester, this three-year degree develops your philosophical skills, including the ability to construct and evaluate arguments, analyse concepts, and engage with complex ethical and metaphysical questions, alongside a thorough study of religious traditions and the academic field
