The programme includes modules on comparative theology, literature and religion, Christian-Buddhist dialogue and the study of sacred texts across various religious traditions, including the Bible, Qur'an, and the Sutras.
The MA in Theology and World Religions is taught by a faculty with internationally recognised expertise in research and teaching. It is open to students from diverse religious and secular backgrounds, including those with experience in religious and faith communities, humanities backgrounds, and education sectors.
Upon completion of the programme, students will gain significant cultural, political, historical and ethical insights, along with essential skills for critical thinking, interdisciplinary research, and reasoning. This prepares graduates for an increasingly interconnected and globalised world where understanding and dialogue among different religious and cultural traditions are essential.
