Description

Kan man med hjälp av filosofi och naturvetenskap dra slutsatser om Guds existens? Tyder Big Bang för 13,8 miljarder år sedan på att det finns en övernaturlig skapare? Tyder evolutionens blodiga historia snarare på motsatsen? Är de kosmiska naturkonstanternas extremt gynnsamma värden en ren slump, ett av ofantligt många möjliga utfall i multiversum, eller är de medvetet finjusterade?

Dessa och många andra frågor diskuteras under kursens gång. Genom att analytiskt dissekera världens hittills bästa argument för och emot Guds existens övar du dig i argumentationsanalys, blir bättre på att genomskåda retoriska knep, lär dig uppskatta naturvetenskapens räckvidd, får en fördjupad förståelse för den komplicerade relationen mellan naturvetenskap och religion, och tränar dig på att blottlägga antaganden av metafysisk eller kunskapsteoretisk art.

Kursen läses på distans och förutsätter aktivt deltagande på den digitala utbildningsplattformen. Ett tiotal introducerande föreläsningar med tillhörande digitala hjälpmedel kommer att läggas upp under kursens gång, liksom inlämningsuppgifter samt en avslutande hemtentamen.

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.
