Global Philosophies & Worldviews and Media & Communication (with Foundation Year)

GLOBAL PHILOSOPHIES & WORLDVIEWS

Liverpool is a truly global city, shaped by centuries of migration, trade, and cultural exchange. Its diverse history and rich cultural mix make it the perfect setting for the Global Philosophies and Worldviews degree, where you will explore how different traditions, cultures, and religions shape the way people understand the world.

The Global Philosophies and Worldviews course takes you on a journey across traditions, examining Asian philosophical and religious thought, as well as Western, Jewish, Muslim, and Christian approaches to life’s biggest questions. You will investigate how people form and reform their worldviews, asking critical questions about secularism, scientism, and the challenges of pluralism in a media-saturated world.
