The fields of philosophy and theology often intersect. Thinkers throughout history have pondered fundamental questions about being and free will. Religious scholars have drawn from philosophical frameworks to articulate their views on personal and communal faith.

This program lets you investigate these connections. You'll examine the metaphysical, moral, and religious traditions that influence modern thought.

Alternatively, you may concentrate on philosophy and theology as distinct disciplines, tailoring their relative emphasis to suit your academic focus.
The majority of your theology classes take place at New College in Edinburgh's city center. This historic site boasts its own library, dining hall, and outdoor space.

Philosophy instruction occurs nearby at George Square, just minutes away. The square also hosts various academic resources and student services, including the University's primary library.

Philosophy students benefit from dedicated learning spaces and specialized collections. Edinburgh's rich cultural landscape, with its museums and artistic venues, offers additional opportunities to enhance your studies.
