Overview

Course overview

The Philosophy and Religion program at The University of Wales Trinity Saint David explores key topics in philosophy and religion, such as the nature of the self, the nature of reality, and the nature of religious experiences, from various philosophical and religious perspectives, from both eastern and western traditions.

Students undertake four taught modules during their first year (full-time) or two years (part-time) of study before progressing to Part II and the writing of their dissertation. In Part I, students study one compulosry 30 credit module and three optional 30 credit modules (120 credits in total).

The programme is delivered via distance learning. There is no requirement to visit our campus, although you are always welcome to do so. The programme consists of online lectures, discussion forums and one-to-one tutorials.

The programme will help students to develop skills that are valuable to a wide range of employers, such as the ability to:

analyse complex information in a critical manner;
present clear and coherent arguments;
present complex information in a clear manner.

More particularly, the programme will attract students who are looking to take up future employment opportunities, or are already in employment, in areas or sectors where an understanding of interfaith issues will be of benefit.

It will also appeal to students who are looking towards a religious and/or devotional service, a life of public service, and various voluntary-based projects.
