Focusing on language, culture, behaviour, opinions, and ideas, this BA Modern Languages and Philosophy, Ethics and Religion incorporates some of the most fundamental aspects of humanity and the human experience.

With modules that explore ethics, analytical and continental philosophy, and Eastern and Western religions, you will have opportunities to debate some of the questions that have been asked for centuries. What does it mean to be human? How should we resolve moral dilemmas? Is it possible to prove that God exists?

You will learn and develop your competence in writing, speaking and comprehension in one of the languages we offer – French or Spanish. You can explore historical and cultural aspects relating to your chosen language and the communities that speak it, such as film, contemporary issues or politics.

Our Modern Languages staff have expertise in translation, film, literature, travel writing, performance, visual cultures, popular culture, socio-political change and transnational cultures. Meanwhile, the staff who teach Philosophy, Ethics and Religion specialise in diverse, often conflicting, fields of expertise, such as religious extremism, existentialism, aesthetics, and Holocaust studies. Their interests span a host of ethical approaches, from queer and feminist ethics to Asian or African ethics, consequentialism and deontology. They cover religions from around the world: Christianity, Islamic Studies, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Judaism, Voodoo, Satanism, Paganism, and Wicca.
