Stockholm, Schweden
Stockholm University is one of the world's top 100 universities. Education is available at all levels, including Bachelor's, Master's, and PhD degrees. More than 30,000 students, among which 3,000 are international, study here.
Education in the History of Religions:
As a student of the history of religions, you will encounter a wide range of religious traditions, both past and present. We provide courses in a variety of empirical fields, such as new religious movements, Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Chinese religions, and the religions of pre-Christian Europe.
By introducing different theoretical perspectives – historical, anthropological, psychological, and sociological – we provide the keys to understanding religion as a highly diverse cultural phenomenon with a lasting impact on all human societies. Religion is more than just personal faith. In its local environments, it contributes, for better or worse, to strengthening social ties and enhancing cultural identities, as well as to artistically and intellectually challenging interpretations of the foundations of human existence.
