School of Philosophy, Religion and History of Science

Ideas matter.  Whether philosophical or religious or scientific, ideas have been the lifeblood of human culture and society, shaping our sense of who we are, what our world is like, and what we can and should do in order to make the world a better place.

You'll critically examine some of the most important debates in philosophy, religion and the history of science, in one of the largest and liveliest schools of its kind in the country. A wide range of degrees allows you to tailor your education to your own strengths and interests.

The School of Philosophy, Religion and History of Science is actively working to build a diverse and inclusive school community that supports all staff and students. Our Equality and Inclusion Lead is Dr Ellen Clarke.
