Course summary
The MA in Study of Religions offers a unique approach to studying religious beliefs and practices around the world. This programme does not focus on any single religious tradition instead, it encourages students to engage with many religions in a way that is free, fair, and open-minded. Here, students learn to explore different religious identities and representations while thinking critically about what religion means in today’s world. This programme focuses on contemporary religions, examining the role of religion in current social and global contexts. It’s designed by staff with expertise in sociology, anthropology, and religious studies, meaning students benefit from a diverse and interdisciplinary approach. This background allows students to approach religion from a variety of angles, such as exploring how religious ideas and practices influence, and are influenced by, modern culture and society. The MA addresses both theoretical concepts and the practical lived aspects of religious life, so students gain a deeper understanding of how religion operates in different parts of the world and within different social settings. Students on this course can expect a range of modules that bring together critical themes, from religious rituals and sacred scripture to ethical and political challenges that are relevant to religion today. These modules also help students consider contemporary issues like climate change, migration, and human rights, seeing how religious beliefs connect to these big global topics. Such studies are not only relevant for understanding the past but also for analysing present-day society and its values.
