Description
Christianity, Judaism, and Islam are often described as Abrahamic faiths, since all three religious traditions trace their faith back to a person known as Abraham, Avraham or Ibrahim.
This course explores the three major monotheistic traditions, focusing on both similarities and differences. In particular, it addresses the interplay between Christians, Jews and Muslims in history as well as today.
Students taking this course are offered to go on a study tour to Jerusalem, a holy city to three religious traditions. (April 27-May 7, 2017: the 27th and 7th are travel days; hence, the course commences in the morning on April 28 and ends in the evening on the 6th). This course is given in cooperation with the Swedish Theological Institute in Jerusalem. The students pay for their travel expenses; the costs for lodging, excursions, teaching, and most meals are covered by Lund University and by a grant from the foundation Lunds Missionssällskap.
In late January all students will receive an e-mail, to which they must reply at their earliest convenience. Having received a confirmation that they have been granted a scholarship, the students are asked to book and to pay for their airfare to and from Tel Aviv airport (TLV). Students with a passport from the European Union usually do not need a visa. Please contact an Israeli Embassy if you have questions about visa etc.
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.
Tuition Fees
