BA (Hons) Philosophy, Ethics and Religion at University of Chester

Philosophy and religion are fundamental to informing the way people live. The choices we make, our sense of what’s right and wrong, our understanding of what we owe to each other; all of these are shaped by our core beliefs about the nature of the world and our place in it. This course places the big questions of philosophy and ethics in conversation with the religious traditions that have shaped them across the globe and throughout history, and continue to shape them here and now.
