Our specialisms

• Central Philosophical QuestionsThe best method for engaging with philosophy is to explore its most central questions: the nature of the world and what exists, and our capacity to know and understand it. How do we know that what we perceive is real, and what it means for it to change over time? What is the mind, and how does it relate to the body? You can explore these issues through philosophical discussion to examine further questions, such as the ability of science to give us objective knowledge, or our own capacity for reasoning, and understanding how language works. Rigorous investigation of these topics gives you experience in the methods of philosophy, and enables you to explore a range of topics and themes in your subsequent study, whether your interests are in the philosophy of mind, knowledge, the philosophy of science, or advanced study of important thinkers.

• History of PhilosophyThe great thinkers and movements of the past continue to have an impact on philosophy today. At Heythrop these good ideas and arguments are debated as part of an on-going philosophical conversation. Among the philosophers you will study are Plato, Aristotle, the medieval Jewish, Christian and Islamic philosophers, the philosophers of the Early Modern Period and of the Enlightenment, Kant and his successors, the great 19th century German philosophers, and the 20th century phenomenologists including Heidegger and Sartre. Wittgenstein and the schools of thought which have been inspired by his work are another focal point. Women philosophers such as Edith Stein and Simone de Beauvoir are important contributors to this intellectual history and are given their rightful place. Our particular approach is to understand all these thinkers in context and to explore the impact of their ideas on the world outside philosophy.

• EthicsHeythrop’s approach to the study of ethics is both theoretical and practical, both inclusive and critical. You will explore good ideas and arguments wherever they are to be found, and then assess them rigorously. Central theories in metaethics and empirical moral psychology raise questions about whether morality can be objective, what moral judgments mean, and give rise to debates over the role of reason, emotion and character in ethics. Normative ethical theories are drawn from both secular philosophical and religious traditions, including utilitarianism, Aristotelian virtue theory and its development in Aquinas and in Christian anthropology, and deontological theories from Kant, natural law, Judaism and Islam. On this theoretical foundation you can then go on to consider real-world, practical issues such as the environment, the market economy, medicine and healthcare, sex, politics and society.

• Philosophy of ReligionReligious traditions have always used the methods and arguments of philosophy to examine their beliefs and debate them with others. You will explore a wide range of topics including faith and reason, religion and science, theism and atheism, the nature of God, the problem of evil, religious experience and religious language. These questions are dealt with in very different ways by the world’s religions and cultures and by diverse branches of philosophy. At Heythrop you will explore this broad range of styles and the relationships between philosophy of religion and other disciplines as well as contemporary secular and scientific thought. Heythrop’s approach is sensitive to the beliefs and practices of religions as well as open to styles of reasoning in different philosophical cultures of the world.

These are the building blocks of our degree programmes

Our specialisms

• Culture, Society & PoliticsHeythrop’s specialisms in Theology and Philosophy are lenses through which you can explore a broader canvas; from artistic creations to religious violence, from poetry and film to revolutions and human rights. At the same time, such pressing contemporary issues question, stimulate and enrich our theological and philosophical ideas. You can study the range of theories and methodologies in political, social and cultural disciplines such as sociology of religion, psychology of religion, theology of literature, aesthetics and philosophy of literature. A key area of focus is political philosophy, political theology, theologies of liberation and social justice. You can explore themes such as gender, secularisation, conflict and its resolution, globalisation and religions and the media.

• World ReligionsThe world’s religions are rich traditions of ideas and wisdom, texts and interpretations, vibrant social communities and sites of political challenge. Heythrop’s approach to the study of religions encompasses a range of different methods appropriate to the many facets of communities of faith, to engage them both with nuanced understanding and critical rigour. A particular specialism at Heythrop is the Abrahamic Religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam; but the religions of India also form a focus of study. You will be able to investigate key areas including the relations between different religions, sacred texts and their interpretation, spirituality and mysticism.

• Christian TheologyChristian theology is a conversation about God, and about human persons and communities as they relate to God, in the light of the revelation of Jesus Christ. Systematic theology and historical theology ask, how are we to conduct this conversation responsibly in the present, and how have people done so in the past? Central themes in this dialogue will help you to explore how the main Christian doctrines took shape, such as identity of Jesus, the understanding of God as Trinity, and salvation; as well as the implications of revelation for human life and destiny. Key Christian thinkers and theologians are important contributors and are taken into our conversation. At Heythrop we view the experience of spirituality, and its expressions in the great writers of Christian history, as an important dimension of this academic reflection. You will also discover the importance of philosophy and rationality in the shaping of theological traditions, as well as the cultural and political context of all theology, whether ancient or modern.

• Biblical StudiesThe Bible and Second Temple Judaism are core elements of the study of Christian Theology and Judaism, as well as a fascinating study in their own right. You will discover different methods and approaches to the study of Biblical texts within their historical, social and theological contexts. Passages can be studied in the original languages or in English, with additional classes available teaching Biblical Hebrew and New Testament Greek. Every year we select key passages from the Bible such as Psalms, as well as Gospels, the Epistles and Revelation. Heythrop also specialises in Second Temple Texts, and the reception of the Bible in the Christian community. You can explore the cultural impact of the Bible in art, literature and music; ancient cosmology and apocalyptic writings; ecology and gender.

The array of module options on offer in the second and third years is really great as well, as they allow you to take modules from all sorts of other BA programmes, which I have greatly enjoyed.

“The passion the lecturers have about their subjects make the classes so engaging. The fact that the staff are so skilled means that we get the best quality of teaching we could wish for. I fi nd Philosophy absolutely fascinating, but the opportunities we get through the course to select optional modules make the subject even better. They allow the subject to really come alive, as the discussions in lectures are fuelled by people who have a passion for the topic, and the lecturers and tutors who have such amazing knowledge.”

“I have been teaching philosophy at Heythrop College for seventeen years and quickly discovered just how unique and valuable an institution it is. We are a small college where staff and students not only share a passion for the same subjects, they are also known to each other. Wander the corridors of Heythrop and you’ll fi nd people deep in conversations about philosophy and theology. Irrespective of their religious belief – or lack of religious belief – students and staff are bound together by a shared, deep interest in fundamental questions about reality, morality and the human condition.

Student Life

“When I walked through the front door I felt an atmosphere that I couldn’t not be part of -

it’s almost electric.” (3rd Year BA Philosophy & Theology student)

Student life in London

Life in LondonThere’s no better city in the UK to spend your student days than the capital. There will be plenty to keep you occupied in your free time, whether you’re interested in galleries, music, film, museums, shopping, fashion, comedy, theatre, dance, sport, or scenery; the choice and opportunities that London offers are unparalleled.

Living in London doesn’t have to be expensive. Being a student here enables you to experience the capital far more cheaply than everyone else, as most places of interest offer discounts for students. Part-time jobs are plentiful and most offer a higher hourly rate than any anywhere else in the UK. London also has an unrivalled public transport network (which is a third cheaper for students), providing instant access to explore the city 24 hours a day.

As London is a leading global city in finance, art, business, fashion, commerce, education, healthcare, media and entertainment; the opportunities for work experience and for securing a job upon completing your degree are second to none, with the College helping you at every stage.

The fact that London is such a diverse, multicultural and international city, makes studying Theology, Philosophy and variations of these two subjects, even more interesting and relevant.

Life in KensingtonThe College itself is situated in the London borough of Kensington and Chelsea, one of the most vibrant and interesting parts of the capital. The immediate area offers a plethora of entertainment suitable for all budgets and tastes, from high street shops, independent cinemas and thrifty weekend markets to fine dining and designer boutiques. Kensington is home to a wealth of cultural activities, all within walking distance from the College such as The Royal Opera House, Victoria and Albert Museum, Natural History Museum, Science Museum and Kensington Gardens.

It takes less than 20 minutes via public transport to reach Oxford Circus, the main London rail stations, the Houses of Parliament and Bloomsbury for the University of London central facilities, with High Street Kensington underground station just a two minute walk from the front door. w

Intercollegiate Halls of ResidenceHeythrop is allocated a small number of rooms in Intercollegiate Halls every year, generally in Nutford House (Marble Arch/ Edgware Road).There are single and twin rooms available. Intercollegiate Halls offer the opportunity to meet, live and socialise with students from other University of London Colleges.

Find out moreIn the first instance all queries should be made to the Campus Services office. They can be contacted via email at [email protected] or by telephoning 020 7795 4163.

If you do not wish to live in halls in the first year, help is available in finding accommodation.

The University of London Accommodation Office website www.lon.ac.uk/accom - offers a good deal of advice and information about different areas of London and links to some private halls. Housing costs can be much cheaper further from central London, though obviously travel costs are higher. w

Accommodation

On-site accommodationThe Alban Hall of Residence is located on campus, just a short stroll across the garden from the main building. The Hall’s location in the heart of Kensington is one of its main advantages as it offers the opportunity to live in one of London’s most exclusive neighbourhoods for a fraction of the price of privately rented accommodation. With just over 100 bedrooms, there is a strong sense of community within the Hall which ensures you get to know a large proportion of the student body very quickly.

The Hall is divided into flats with shared bathroom facilities, a communal living area and kitchen in each. There are also a small number of rooms with ensuite toilets. Internet access and a catered package are included.

If you receive an offer to study at Heythrop you will be invited to apply for accommodation from April regardless of whether we are your firm or insurance choice. Where you live (and who you live with) is a huge part of the university experience and you should give some thought to what will suit you best. In allocating Alban Hall places, the College gives priority to first-year undergraduates. In subsequent years the majority of students then move into private accommodation, usually shared flats with friends, but a small number of students reapply for accommodation, and they are invited to do so each year during February. It is normally possible to live in halls for up to two years.

Heythrop’s Alban Hall of Residence offers:

• on-site accommodation

• 109 single study bedrooms

• catered accommodation

• a kitchen where you can prepare snacks

• internet access in your room

• a laundry room

• a member of staff available 24 hours a day

• provision for mobility impaired students

As a Heythrop student, you are automatically a member of Heythrop Students’ Union (HSU) and the NUS (National Union of Students). The Union is managed by a team of eleven executive officers, elected annually by the student body and is headed up by a President and Vice President, who have completed their degrees or have taken a year out in order to fill these full-time positions.

Activities & entertainmentThe Union organises events throughout the year, from Freshers’ Week all the way through to the annual Summer Ball, which is often held at exclusive and unusual venues such Shakespeare’s Globe or London Zoo thanks to the smaller size of the student body.

There are a multitude of HSU clubs and societies on offer including drama, dance, art, debating, martial arts, football, cricket, meditation, film and choir, in addition to societies which reflect the diverse religious and cultural backgrounds of our students.

The HSU manages the student social space and bar on campus which offers a friendly environment to meet fellow students over a game of pool as well as a quiet study, a cinema room and a recreation room, bookable for student groups and societies.

As Heythrop is one of the Colleges of University of London, you will also have access to the facilities and services of the central University which include free legal advice, a careers service, a gym and swimming pool and to the numerous events arranged in the bar and function rooms at the Malet Street building.

Heythrop students also have access to the nearby bars and clubs at Imperial College Union, and can join any of their societies for an affiliation fee of £5.

The Lion, the Heythrop student newspaper, is produced entirely by students, and provides a fantastic forum for debate, information and expression. All students can write for The Lion, and those that are particularly interested can work towards joining its editorial board.

What will I need to pay for?At university you will have two main expenses; your tuition fees and your living expenses. Financial assistance is available from both the government and Heythrop to help eligible undergraduate students to meet these costs. Some of this support will be dependent upon your household income, whilst other support, such as the tuition fee loan and basic maintenance loan, are available to all students, regardless of your financial circumstances.

How much are the tuition fees?

Students starting in September 2015:

£9,000 per annum - full time UK and EU £4,500 per annum - part time UK and EU

(Tuition fees for non-EU students are yet to be confirmed at the time of going to press. In 2014 the tuition fee for full-time non-EU students was £10,250 per annum)

What financial assistance is available?There are two main sources of funding for undergraduate students:

• government funding, in the form of loans and grants

• funding from Heythrop College, in the form of bursaries and scholarships

Please note: At the time of going to press funding arrangements for 2015-16 have not yet been confirmed. The information below relates to students starting programmes in 2014-15 and is subject to change for 2015-16 entry.

Government fundingTuition fee loans

All UK and EU full-time and part-time students can apply for a tuition fee loan from the government to cover the cost of your tuition fees. This means that you do not have to pay your tuition fees while studying. This loan becomes repayable when you are employed and earning over £21,000 per annum. The amount you repay depends on the level of your earnings. For more detailed information please visit www.gov.uk/student-finance

If you live in the UK but not in England you should visit one of the following sites for information and advice:

Wales: www.studentfinancewales.co.uk Northern Ireland: www.studentfinanceni.co.uk Scotland: www.saas.gov.uk

Money matters 57

Maintenance grants

If you are a full-time English student, you can apply for a maintenance grant from the government if your household income is £42,620 or below. In 2014 you could receive the following amounts for each year of study:

Household income Maintenance grant£25,000 or less £3,387£30,000 £2,441£35,000 £1,494£40,000 £547£42,620 £50

These grants are paid into your bank account at the start of each term once you’ve registered on your course. Unlike loans, these grants do not have to be repaid.

Maintenance loans

Full-time English students can apply for a maintenance loan from the government to help meet the cost of your living expenses. The value of the loan you can obtain is higher if you live away from your parental home and higher again if you study in London. The maximum award for 2014 was £7,751. Like the tuition fee loan, this doesn’t need to be repaid until you’ve finished studying and are earning more than £21,000 per year.

More information on maintenance loans and grants is available from www.gov.uk/student-finance

environment• study topics not available at

Heythrop, or consider topics from different perspectives

• make friends and contacts in another country

• enhance your employability• develop new skills and become

more independent• have a fantastic adventure!

In addition to your academic studies, there are a range of opportunities available at Heythrop through the Enrichment Programme to help you acquire new skills, to develop your confidence and to boost your employability.

Learn a language Free language classes are offered for beginners, improvers and advanced students in French and Spanish. We aim to also offer German as a third option for the new academic year.

Philosophy for ChildrenIf you study Philosophy as part of your degree, you can gain recognised accreditation for working with children to develop a community of enquiry, such as running a Philosophy Club at a school or youth club. Courses run in the summer and offer a great opportunity to develop your skills if you are considering embarking on career in teaching after completing your degree.

3 Faiths Forum (3FF)You can apply to participate in a year-long programme where trios of university students from the three main Abrahamic faiths work together to present sessions at schools and colleges so that young people can learn more about Judaism, Christianity and Islam in an environment of mutual respect. Training is given to each member of the team and you are encouraged to apply if you have an interest in a career in inter faithwork.

The Lokahi FoundationVice-Principal Professor Gwen Griffith-Dickson founded this social impact charity in 2005. Now based on-site at Heythrop, students can engage in a range of activities with Lokahi including a Diversity Management course which will equip you with the professional skills required to work well with people from different faiths, beliefs and cultures.

VolunteeringHeythrop has connections with a wide range of organisations and charities with whom students can volunteer, including a refugee centre and a centre which offers education and employment opportunities for homeless young people and families.

Study abroadErasmus – the European Exchange scheme – gives you the opportunity to study at a university elsewhere in Europe for the second year of your undergraduate programme or one term of your postgraduate programme.

Depending where you go, one of the benefits of study in Europe can be to help you improve your language skills or learn a new language. However, Heythrop also has Erasmus partners - in Belgium, Malta, the Czech Republic, Denmark and Sweden – where you can study in English. European students also use the scheme to study at Heythrop, so even if you do not go abroad yourself, you may benefit from the different experience and perspectives they bring to the classes they may share with you.

Your career64

Transferable skillsThe degrees we offer use a range of tools from different disciplines to formulate questions and look for answers. Theologians use textual and linguistic analysis, history, philosophy and systematic theology. Philosophers learn to examine and dissect arguments and apply formal rules of logic. As a result, during the course of your studies you will acquire an impressive range of transferable skills, including research and analysis, negotiation, communication and problem solving, which find favour in a wide selection of industries and also provide a solid foundation for postgraduate study.

Work placementsIn your second year, you will have an exciting opportunity to undertake a 15 credit work related module and gain professional experience which will be of value in your future career. Our ‘Theology in Action’ and ‘Philosophy in Action’ modules enable you, through College-approved placements to relate real world issues in education, charity work, government policy, business practice and other areas to topics in Theology or Philosophy. You will receive preparation in work-related skills such as personal and professional presentation, time management, team working, cv preparation and critical thinking.

The Careers ServiceA series of informative career talks are held weekly at Heythrop to help you think about the kind of work you would like to do. You will be able to book a one-to-one session with our careers adviser to discuss your options and will also have access to the University’s Careers Service for additional employers’ presentations, specialist careers fairs and guidance interviews. You will be able to rehearse your interview techniques and participate in careers skills sessions – on everything from writing the best possible CV to practice psychometric tests.

Callum Davies BA Philosophy graduateCivil Service Fast Stream HR“I strongly believe that the amount of support that all aspects of Heythrop provide, from the lecturers to the Student Support team, helps each student to fl ourish. I am very excited to be joining the Civil Service and owe part of this success to Heythrop. It was the Careers team who guided me through the process of applying for a position on the Fast Stream Graduate Scheme. They provided excellent advice to formulate my CV which was ultimately successful in an extremely competitive application process of 21,000 applicants to 100 jobs. I will always be extremely grateful to Heythrop for believing in me and for all the fantastic opportunities they have provided. I would not be where I am today without them.”

Our history66

Heythrop todayToday Heythrop is a unique place to study, welcoming students of all different faiths and none, from diverse backgrounds and different nationalities to explore contemporary and historical philosophical and theological issues. Our inclusivity and diversity provide an enriching learning environment for our students and our comparatively small size makes it easy for students and staff to become well known to one another. Our Jesuit tradition of ‘educating men and women for others’ is evidenced today by the career paths our graduates choose which often involve working in education, faith communities or the third sector in professions which work for and with people.

400 years of academic excellenceFounded in 1614, Heythrop is one of the oldest higher education institutions in the UK. Like most ancient places of learning, its name, character and location have changed over the years, with occasional episodes of high drama along the way.

In 1614 England was a dangerous place for Roman Catholics, and it was not possible to educate Catholic priests there. A wealthy English Catholic gave a sizeable sum of money to establish a college at Louvain (in modern-day Belgium) to educate English Jesuits in philosophy and theology. After a few years the College moved to Liège where it remained for around 170 years, carrying on when the Jesuits were suppressed worldwide in 1773.

By 1794, however, revolutionary France had dissolved all religious orders, guillotined the king and queen and embarked upon the “Reign of Terror”. France was at war with England. It was dangerous to be a priest and dangerous to be English, and the armies of revolutionary France were advancing. By this time, though there were serious restrictions for Catholics, England was relatively safe. The decision was made to come home.

Staff and students settled at Stonyhurst in Lancashire. Soon after the University of London was established in 1836, the College at Stonyhurst was recognised to prepare students for University of London degrees. Philosophers remained in Lancashire whilst Theology relocated to North Wales. After 70 years or so apart, they came together again in 1926 at Heythrop Hall, near Oxford – the name which the College has retained. In the second half of the twentieth century the pace of change quickened. Heythrop began to admit lay people as well as Jesuits, and women as well as men. In 1970 the College moved to London and in 1993, to Kensington. In 1971 a Royal Charter established it as a College of the University of London specialising in Theology and Philosophy, with a mission “to offer its students an education marked by intelligence, scholarship and generosity of spirit”.

Our history 67

The University of London68

© University of London

Heythrop is one of eighteen self-governing Colleges which together form the University of London. The University attracts students from all parts of the UK and across the globe, offering an encyclopaedic range of degrees in one of the world’s most vibrant cities.

Founded in 1836, the University of London is the third-oldest university in England. It has a student population of over 120,000, with a further 45,000 students studying by distance learning. The Colleges and Institutes of the University of London have one of the most culturally diverse student populations in the country and offer an unparalleled range of qualifications and opportunities for study: the University offers over 3,700 courses each year covering almost every subject found in any university curriculum. Whilst some other Colleges offer a wide range of subjects and may seem like universities in their own right, about half – like Heythrop – are relatively small, specialist Colleges which offer excellence in their fields, such as the Royal Academy of Music and the Institute of Education.

Students often choose Heythrop because it offers an inclusive, small, cohesive and specialist learning environment. Normally, all your classes will be at Heythrop, though there are occasional opportunities to take a module at another University of London College. The Heythrop library is an exceptionally rich resource, but as a University of London student you also have access to the University Library at Senate House and the employability advice and guidance provided by the University Careers Service, in addition to that which is already on offer at Heythrop. Some students apply to live in the University’s Intercollegiate Halls in order to mix more with those studying other subjects. You also have access to the wide range of social and sporting resources of the University of London in Bloomsbury.
