What is the meaning of life? What does it mean to be human? What do we owe to other people? How can we understand our relationship with the divine? What does it mean to talk about the divine or the infinite? Can we have decent and meaningful human relationships without the presence of something greater? Are these questions universal, or culturally specific? The degree in Ethics, Philosophy and Religion at Lancaster addresses these questions from a variety of philosophical and religious perspectives.
In your first year, you'll take the core module Ethics, Philosophy and Religion which offers students the knowledge, academic techniques and skills to approach fundamental questions about the meaning of life and the human condition with confidence and, crucially, to consider what is at stake in ethical reasoning with self-assurance and maturity. In your second year youll take modules such as Ethics, Theory and Practice; Cross-Cultural Ethics, and Western Philosophy and Religious Thought. In your final year, youll choose from a wide variety of modules and complete a Dissertation on a subject that interests you.
During the placement year you will remain a Lancaster University student which means that you will still be eligible for a student loan, have access to facilities such as the library and receive discounts on transport and council tax. Your tuition fee will be reduced to 20% during the placement year.
The placement will enhance your understanding of the connections between theory and practice and this will benefit your final year of study. This is an exciting opportunity to build up experience and transferable skills, as well as to make contacts with potential employers which will place you a step ahead in the graduate recruitment market.
