This programme studies religions in their historical and contemporary development. Tracing their growth, special attention is given to geographical spread, theological complexity and cultural influence. Recognising that the great religions have developed in relation to one another, it explores the affinities between them, their mutual indebtedness, their differences, and the clashes their encounters have produced.
The MRes is a research degree that includes taught components (including taught courses from the corresponding MA programme where applicable); it may be followed as an end in itself, but also provides an excellent foundation for subsequent doctoral research. The programme comprises three 20-credit modules; you take a compulsory Research Methodology module, two optional modules, and complete a 20,000-word thesis.
