The School of Philosophy and Religion at Bangor University offers the opportunity to study some of the most important and challenging philosophical ideas that have shaped Western culture, and to consider how they interrelate with Western religious thought. If you are interested in how religious texts should properly be studied today, or in the arguments regarding euthanasia, abortion, stem cell research, global warming etc. or if you are interested in the ideas of Plato or – in the modern era – those of Jung and Nietzsche, then this course may be the one for you. The School has developed out of a longstanding tradition in these subject areas within the University since the 19thcentury, and you will find here a friendly and informal atmosphere that will help you to cultivate the skills of debate and independent thinking.
