About Religious Studies

Religious studies is the study of different religious beliefs around the world, their behaviour, institutions and how they see the world around them. The study not only explains and interprets but it also compares different religions between themselves. You’ll also learn history, how and when religions were formed, different periods they went through and how they’ve adapted into the modern world of today.

The study of religions started somewhere around the 19th century when analysis of the Bible was flourishing and many Hindu and Buddhist texts were being translated into European languages for the first time. Many scholars believe that religious studies is extremely useful in modern days, because with globalisation it is more important than ever before to try and understand the different perspectives of cultures across the globe.
