Philosophy and Theology
Why Choose Pembroke?
We have two tutorial fellows in Philosophy; Professor Guy Kahane, whose primary research focus is on theoretical and applied ethics and human morality, and Professor James Read, whose research interests lie primarily in the philosophy of physics, and the foundations of space-time theories. We also have two lead tutors in the study of Theology and Religion; Professor Justin Jones, who is a specialist in modern and contemporary Islam, and the Rev. Dr Andrew Teal, our College Chaplain whose research interests include historical & systematic theology, history of Christianity and the study of religions.
- The interdisciplinarity of the two subjects is reinforced by our strong focus on joint schools at Pembroke, with tutors working closely together to ensure the highest quality of teaching and learning development for joint honours students. Both subjects have a large and lively community of scholars and students, helping you benefit from a broad range of philosophical and theological perspectives.
Have you seen our related joint honours courses?
Both of these disciplines can be studied within other course combinations, such as Maths & Philosophy, Philosophy & Modern Languages, PPE (Philosophy, Politics & Economics) Physics & Philosophy, PPL (Psychology, Philosophy & Linguistics), Theology and Religion, Theology and Oriental Studies.
