Study Philosophy, Ethics and Religion at Leeds Trinity University and we’ll empower you to think for yourself and question the world around you.

In a world where meaning is often ‘hidden’ or involves a complicated analytical response, it’s essential that we spend the time trying to engage with who we are and what values we want to hold as individuals in today’s complex society. Studying a Philosophy, Ethics and Religion degree will give you the opportunity to develop a critical understanding of the world as you explore the meaning of life, the relationship between religion and the State, as well as the ethical methods needed to determine what values we should hold in a complex, ever-changing society.

Engaging in topical debates and lively discussions, your subject will be brought to life by active researchers with a range of expertise. Learning in small groups, you’ll receive the personal student support that we are renowned for and develop the in-demand key transferable skills that employers want.

You’ll gain invaluable experience while you study by undertaking professional work placements that match your career aspirations. You can also add value to your university experience and enhance your CV by taking the opportunity to study, work or volunteer overseas.

Study with us and we’ll empower you to think for yourself and question the world around you – developing the skills and experience you need to launch your career or build the perfect foundation for you to pursue postgraduate study.

Book your Open Day

One of the best ways to help you make up your mind is by attending an Open Day and getting a feel for what Leeds Trinity has to offer and what it's like to study here.

Our upcoming Open Days in July are:

Saturday 6 July at our Main Campus in Horsforth

Saturday 13 July at Cloth Hall Court in Leeds City Centre

Book your place
Open Day entrance on Main Campus.

This degree finds great value in having an open discussion of ideas as opposed to just being lectured. The small class sizes create an environment that inspires thoughtful discussion where everyone feels comfortable to contribute.
