Course summary
The Science and Religion programme at Edinburgh offers a unique opportunity to investigate how scientific discoveries and religious traditions intersect, challenge, and enrich one another. You will engage critically with topics including the origins of the universe, evolution and human distinctiveness, the laws of nature, consciousness and the soul, and the role of theology in public debates on science. Research students are supported by experts in theology, philosophy, history of science, and religious studies, with supervision available across Christianity, Islam, and comparative traditions. If you have an area of study in mind, please send your transcript and draft proposal to a member of staff (see the Research Supervisor section below). You will need to demonstrate that you are ready for PhD study and your topic fits the research interests of a staff member.
