Description
Tros- och livsåskådningsvetenskap består av de tre delområdena religionsfilosofi, systematisk teologi och etik. Religionsfilosofin syftar till att ge kunskap om klassiska religionsfilosofiska frågor, som Guds existens och det ondas problem, samt att ge redskap för kritisk och konstruktiv reflexion i frågor som rör mening, sanning och verklighetsuppfattning. Denna kurs ger en bred introduktion i ämnet samt en fördjupning i bl.a. feministisk religionsfilosofi, genom analys av ett representativt urval av texter. Systematisk teologi tar upp kristna trosföreställningar i historien och nutiden. Huvudteman och huvudriktningar i den kristna teologin studeras och belyses kritiskt. Bibeltolkningens roll och de filosofiska frågorna kring tron diskuteras. Redskap att ta egen ställning ges. Etiken fokuserar på de moraliska dimensionerna av den mänskliga erfarenheten. På denna kurs studeras framför allt etiska problem och teorier i samband med religion, livsåskådning och människouppfattning. Som exempel på teman kan nämnas sambandet mellan etik och livsåskådning, etiska frågor inom kristendomen och andra religioner, samt människans relation till djur och miljö.

Note!
This course is not open as a freestanding course next semester. It can be open for application within a programme or for students in an exchange programme. Please ask your academic advisor for information.
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.
