University College Cork Programs

The University College Cork offers a variety of programs for students. One of the programs is the BA (Hons) Arts - Religions and Global Diversity.

BA (Hons) Arts - Religions and Global Diversity

This course explores a wide variety of religious traditions, such as Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, Judaism, and various forms of Christianity, as well as offering students the unique opportunity to study indigenous religions, western esotericism, new religious movements, Japanese religions, anthropology of religions, and sexuality and Islam with specialists in these fields.

Course Description

Religions matter. Every world-news bulletin has stories about the impact of religions on individuals and communities. Whether in India, Ireland, or Iran, forms and expressions of religion are constantly changing. Some people turn to "alternative" spiritualities in quest of personal fulfillment, while others seek to strengthen "traditional" religious values in a fast-changing world.

Course Overview

Religions and Global Diversity is a course that reflects on the critical study of religions and cultures around the world, aligning with UCC's tradition of independent thinking. Unlike traditional theology courses, Religions and Global Diversity does not assume you are a believer and is not about promoting religion. It's a fascinating subject for anyone with an interest in the power of religion, whether or not you are a religious practitioner yourself.
