Program details

Overview

The Master of Religious Studies is a two-year evening programme taught in English at the Seminary Campus of the University of Saint Joseph in Macao. It belongs to the Faculty of Religious Studies and Philosophy. Enrolment was paused for the 2023/2024 intake, so applicants should confirm current availability with the university. The course explores spiritual and religious values across philosophical and religious traditions. Students learn research methods and approaches for understanding Asian religions, and they study how religions developed historically and compare their practices and beliefs. Christianity, which began in Asia, is placed in conversation with the religions of China, India and Japan, and with Islam, to foster deeper mutual understanding. In the second year, students write a dissertation that draws their learning in religious studies together.
