Why Lancaster?
This cross-disciplinary programme provides you with the opportunity to pursue and develop your interests in philosophy and religious studies, and to focus on the interface between the two. It builds on core modules, which aim to introduce you to central disciplinary skills and knowledge, with a choice of optional modules across both disciplines.
Digging deeper
We start this course with our modules Studying Religion and What is Philosophy? with both modules covering a lot of ground. In Studying Religion you’ll explore areas like social and cultural transformations of religion and spirituality, as well as sharpening your skills in making sense of conflicting data from different sources and forming an evidence-based argument. In What is Philosophy? you’ll explore the methods used and debates within the subject. At the same time, our teaching team will discuss their fascinating research on everything from the ethics of work to feminist philosophy.
The freedom to explore
Alongside the core module and dissertation, you’ll choose from our range of optional modules. You might analyse Indian source texts on politics and ethics or look at an applied area such as philosophy of mental disorders. Perhaps you’ll pick our independent study module to focus on any topic that sparks your interest.
Hone your research skills
You’ll also dig deeper into an area that interests you with our dissertation module. You’ll have 20,000 words to explore a topic at the intersection of philosophy and religion that interests you. Whenever you need support, you’ll be able to turn to your academic supervisor.
