MA in Religious Studies (in 30% English)
Why Religious Studies at Ibn Haldun University?
MA Program in Religious Studies at Ibn Haldun University offers a unique, comprehensive, and interdisciplinary approach to religion that emphasizes research and teaching. The program focuses on philosophical, historical, social, and psychological dimensions of religion and explores how beliefs shape and are shaped by the individual, society, and historical and social changes. In addition, the program investigates theories that emerged in the history of ideas and their impacts on communities in a religious sense. Going beyond the investigation of intellectual heritage, our program also studies, researches, and reviews contemporary works in the field. We intend to train and prepare our students to develop an agenda for further research and to engage with “religion” as an intellectually provocative concept.
