Philosophy and Ethics combines well with all other subject areas, developing knowledge of moral, ethical and cultural issues so important in today’s multicultural society. The course explores the meaning of religion in the modern world, with a particular focus on the study of ethical debates, philosophy and the study of the Hindu faith. Philosophy and Ethics encourages students to think about the world we live in. The promotion of community cohesion is at the heart of the subject. We focus on learning from rather than simply learning about religion.
