Description

Vill du veta mer om hur människor förstår och har uttryckt sin tro i historia och nutid, och få grundläggande kunskaper om de fenomen och företeelser som är förknippade med religion? Då är den här kursen något för dig!

I kursen studerar du judiska, kristna, islamiska, hinduiska och buddhistiska traditioner, med tonvikt lagd vid deras föreställningar, praktiker, texter, historiska utveckling och samtida gestaltning.

Du övar även förmågan att kritiskt reflektera över religion, tro och livshållning med hjälp av teoretiska perspektiv hämtade från teologi, filosofi och etik.

Den introducerande delkursen "Att studera och undervisa om religion", löper längs med hela kursen. Här får du i seminarieform bekanta dig med flera religionsvetenskapliga metoder för att ge samhälleliga, kulturella och historiska perspektiv på religion. I seminarieform får du även arbeta med grundläggande frågor kring religionsdidaktik.

Du arbetar löpande med en egen kompetensportfölj för att dokumentera dina nyfunna kunskaper och akademiska färdigheter.

How to apply

Lund University uses a national application system run by University Admissions in Sweden. It is only possible to apply during the application periods: October–January for autumn semester and June–August for spring semester.

Extended application deadline

Sometimes the application deadline is extended for a specific programme or course. In these cases you will find the message "open for late application" by the programme/course information on universityadmissions.se. You apply with the usual application steps. As long as this message is showing, it is possible to apply, but late applications are processed in order of date, so it is still important to apply as soon as possible. Please note that if the programme/course does not have an extended deadline, it is not possible to apply late.

First or Second Admission Round?

All international students are encouraged to apply to the First admission round. This round takes place many months before the start of a semester and gives students the time they need to pay their tuition fees, apply for and receive their residence permit (if required), find housing, etc.

The Second admission round is an alternative for students from EU/EEA countries as they do not need a residence permit. Non-EU/EEA students will most likely not have enough time to obtain their permit before the start of the semester. However, even EU/EEA students are advised to apply during the First admission round, as some programmes can be applied for only in the January round. Also, this provides applicants with an admission decision much earlier, which is helpful in making decisions about their studies.
