I have a Religion, Philosophy, and Ethics degree from King's College London

Ask me degree specific questions if you want

Hello, I just want to ask if the degree is competitive and do a lot of people study it. Also, do you study certain religions in detail or is it just the nature of religion overall?

how are the lecturers and is there much support?

Hi! The degree is not competitive at all and it goes into clearing most years so there is a good chance to get a place on this course. It is quite a small department, probably consisting of no more than a 100 students, perhaps even less. Each year you get to study 8 modules, and those 8 modules are either on religion in general (e.g. philosophy of religion) or on specific religions (e.g. Theravada Buddhism, Introduction to Islam, Religious Difference: which centres mainly on Judaism but it is put into dialogue with Christianity and a bit of Islam). We also have Sociology of Religion which could borrow concepts from different religions but you do not go into extensive detail into the religions themselves, it is just specific concepts isolated from the religion as a whole.

Ahh thank you so much! Also, can I ask what grades you got when you applied for the course? I applied to it with A*,A,B and I haven’t heard back from them yet. A teacher told me that majority of the people who got offers for this course applied with grades A*,A,A so now I’m not sure.
