Program details

Overview

This integrated bachelor's programme offers a comprehensive, multidisciplinary study of religious and spiritual phenomena. Students explore diverse global traditions, including Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism and Indigenous religions, from historical and contemporary perspectives. The 90-credit, three-year curriculum combines core religious-studies courses with electives drawn from history, anthropology, psychology, sociology, philosophy, communication and social work. Optional courses in ancient Oriental languages give direct access to foundational religious texts. Students may pursue complementary training in research methods, spiritual animation and community engagement, public communication, or intercultural social intervention. The programme develops critical, comparative and analytical skills applicable to education, community services, communications, publishing and further graduate study in religious studies or related humanities and social-science fields.
