Study with us

People get into philosophy or theology and religion for different reasons. It could be to advance social justice, to negotiate religious and philosophical difference, to understand the nature of consciousness, to support science, or to explore religious faith, to name but a few.

Whatever your interests and motives, we can help you find your way.

  • Explore beyond Western philosophy into Chinese and Indian traditions too
  • Explore how religious thought and authority work
  • Expand from areas you might know, like ethics and epistemology, into new ones, like social philosophy and philosophy of law
  • Consider how religion is embedded in society and history
  • Study philosophy and train to think clearly
  • Think through what you believe

Headshot of Sian Green
I've had the opportunity to deliberate questions that are at the heart of humanity and it is so refreshing to be surrounded by likeminded people, who have a passion for questioning pretty much every aspect of life.
