In the MA Philosophy of Religion and Ethics program, you'll examine diverse philosophical inquiries - such as: Do universal human values exist? How should we navigate varying belief systems in multicultural societies? Is there tension between scientific and religious perspectives? Do individuals from different faith traditions share ethical principles? Does existence hold purpose without divine belief?
You'll learn from an engaged community of philosophers conducting innovative research across numerous specialized areas where expert guidance is offered. This program also serves as a pathway for those considering advanced PhD studies.

Qualification Requirements
You will need an upper second-class Honours degree, or equivalent, preferably in Philosophy, Theology or another relevant subject (e.g. Sociology, English).
If your undergraduate degree is in another subject, you are still very welcome to apply. We consider every application on its merits and we are happy to consider applicants with diverse academic backgrounds. Your level of academic achievement, letters of reference, and personal statement will all have strong influence on our decision. We may also require you to submit a writing sample. This should be around 3-4 pages long, and although it does not need to be a Philosophy essay, it should provide strong evidence of your potential for the type of discursive, analytical, writing that is required in Philosophy at postgraduate level.
We ask you to submit two academic references as part of your application, but if you have been out of academia for some time we will also accept a professional reference in addition to one academic reference.
IELTS 6.5 with no less than 6.0 in any band is equivalent to:
TOEFL: 88 overall with no less than 21 in Reading, 20 Listening, 22 Speaking and 21 in Writing
