Description
The topic of this course is the identity formation processes that Judaism, Christianity and Islam went through in relation to one another with the wide spectrum of types of interaction involved, from conflict to coexistence and cooperation.
The aim of the course is to enable students to understand the complex processes at play as individuals and groups form their identities through interaction in religious, social, and political spatial settings, taking into account issues such as art, gender, economy, history, and collective memory. Special attention is paid to institutions and spaces where religious identities were shaped, and in addition to written sources, the course focuses in particular on archaeological remains, art, inscriptions, and papyri. These studies will prepare students for active engagement with issues of crucial importance in the contemporary world.
The course is online based, ending with a three week trip to Israel that includes hands-on experience with archaeological excavations. The main part of the course (10 credits) is taught in co-operation with the RRE master’s program. The remaining 5 credits are taken within the student’s field of specialization.
Please note: This version of the course is designed for those studying for a Master´s Degree in Religious Studies and Theology at Centre for Theology and Religious Studies. (CTR). Other students are welcome to apply for “TRVN10 Religious Roots of Europe: Space, Art, and Identity in Synagogue, Church, and Mosque (10 credits)”.
Included parts
- Literature and Field Studies, 10 credits
- Specialised Literature Studies, 5 credits

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.
