Master of Arts in Religious Studies and Scottish Literature
Program Overview
This joint honours programme combines the vibrant study of religions with the excitement of Scottish literature.
Religious studies
Religious studies is an interdisciplinary field focusing on religious beliefs and practices and their relationships with the wider world.
We take as much interest in the groups and people who practise religion as their gods, deities, ancestors and spirits.
You will:
- Study the concepts and emotions which underpin religious belief and practice, and their role and function in culture and society
- Cover historical and contemporary material
Examining literature
Reading and writing are key practices in religion and literature. This programme introduces you to major texts and gives you the tools and critical skills to understand and interpret them.
You will:
- Gain the essential skills needed for the critical close reading of poetry, drama and prose
- Read works of literature from Scotland and around the world, encountering different ideas about the nature and purpose of literary study
- Use a range of methods to examine where religious ideas illuminate literature and where religion is mediated in texts
- Study texts ranging from canonical writings, such as Buddhist sutras and the Hebrew Bible, to classic and modern fiction
