Description
CTRD01.Kursen vänder sig till dig som vill få grundläggande kunskaper om de fenomen och företeelser som är förknippade med religion och som vill veta mer om hur människor förstår och uttrycker sin tro och praxis i ett mångkulturellt samhälle. Under kursen kommer du bland annat att studera de viktigare världsreligionernas kännetecken och historiska utveckling liksom några utdöda religioner. Vidare kommer du att bekanta dig med några beteendevetenskapliga perspektiv och metoder för att förstå religion i dagens samhälle samt utifrån några filosofiska och etiska perspektiv fördjupa dig i några centrala livsåskådningsfrågor. Du kommer också att få en introduktion till några av den kristna teologins huvudtankar samt en inblick i hur religion, med fokus på kristendomen, präglat och fortfarande präglar vårt svenska samhälle.

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
Non-EU/EEA citizens
Citizens of a country outside of the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland are required to pay tuition fees. You pay one instalment of the tuition fee in advance of each semester.

EU/EEA citizens and Switzerland
There are no tuition fees for citizens of the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland.
Application fee
If you are required to pay tuition fees, you are generally also required to pay an application fee of SEK 900 (approximately EUR 100) when you apply at universityadmissions.se. You pay one application fee regardless of how many programmes or courses you apply to.
