Why choose this course?
This degree explores the dynamics of the constant interplay between philosophical and theological such issues, and the consequences which flow from this for practical living. It incorporates reflection on religion from both philosophical and theological perspectives and addresses questions as religious fulfilment and ethical impulse as raised in the classical Christian tradition and in modern analysis.
This MA aims to be of interest to a wide range of students – for example those engaged in the study and practice of religion, those interested in making an informed contribution to contemporary religious, social and ethical debate; and those whose professional life involves ethical questions.
What could I go on to do?
• As a Master’s qualification which applies critical thinking skills to some universally important themes, the degree may contribute to career progression in varied areas, including teaching, media, public services and the voluntary sector.
• The degree is a good foundation for further research, at Heythrop or elsewhere.
