Location of Lancaster University
The Lancaster Religious Studies degree scheme is one of the most distinguished in Britain, taught by staff with a national and international reputation for both teaching and research. It was also the first degree of its kind in the UK, its distinctive, global and multidisciplinary approach to the study of religion having become a model for its development in Britain and overseas. The Guardian University Guide 2011 places Lancaster number one for Religious Studies in the Northwest.
Religion is a major factor in world history and modern politics and its study involves knowledge of the major traditions, of the issues they raise and of the different methods of analysing them. PPR offers a comparative approach to the study of religion, focusing upon the various ways the human race has expressed its search for meaning. Our degrees will appeal both to those who have studied religion before and to those who do not have Religious Studies as a school subject. The questions religions pose are as old as History and as new as the New Age.
