Study

Graduates of the B.A. programme have a good grasp of the main theories and methodological approaches to the study of religion, have a basic knowledge of the principal ancient and modern religious traditions, and have a profound grounding in one of them. They have learnt to classify, process and critically analyse mainly textual sources from at least one religious area. They are capable of applying different interpretation strategies to these sources and of assessing the advantages and disadvantages of each of them. The essentially multicultural nature of religious studies means that graduates have a better understanding of other cultural worlds and the ability to compare them and interpret between them.
