Religious Studies
In this web class, you will be introduced to the Religious Studies programme. Religious Studies is a field of study that is devoted to examining the beliefs, institutions, and customs of both major and minor world religions. Many people do not always realize that religion is deeply embedded in all societies and shapes our behavior and framework of thought. It is useful to gain an in-depth understanding of the world’s religions as it is a crucial factor in events such as war, conflict, and ethnic cleansing, but also in more positive as it stimulates peacemaking and protects human rights.
