Program overview

A three year honours degree in philosophical and religious enquiry, covering ethics, philosophy of religion, comparative religion, argument analysis and a final dissertation.

This route asks IELTS 6.5 rather than the 6.0 most Bangor undergraduate degrees require, which reflects the sustained argument philosophy demands.

Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Philosophy, Ethics and Religion is taught at Bangor University, a public university in Wales with full degree awarding powers. Because the philosophy, ethics and religion degree is a degree, it supports an application under the UK Graduate Route, which gives two years of unsponsored work in Britain after you finish. No job offer or sponsor is needed for the philosophy, ethics and religion degree, but you must be inside the UK on a valid student visa when you apply. Your student visa covers the length of the philosophy, ethics and religion degree plus a short period afterwards. UK rules from January 2024 bar a dependant partner or child on taught courses, so the philosophy, ethics and religion degree does not support a family move.

Applicants to Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Philosophy, Ethics and Religion need Class 12 or equivalent with a minimum of 70 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.5 with no band below 6.0, and tuition for the philosophy, ethics and religion degree is recorded at GBP 17,000. Bangor charges no application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the philosophy, ethics and religion degree. The philosophy, ethics and religion degree lists only two entry windows a cycle. Apply Study Visa manages your the philosophy, ethics and religion degree application, the deposit, the offer, the CAS and the UK student visa as one process.

  • Policy Analyst: think tanks and public bodies
  • Ethics Officer: corporate and health settings
  • Researcher: academic and cultural organisations
