Overview

The Religion, Culture and Society programme from The University of Lancashire aims to promote inclusivity, encourage reflection on interfaith dialogue and highlight the important contribution religion and belief makes to community cohesion and combating religious prejudice and discrimination.

Key facts

You’ll evaluate how and why the role of religion and culture has changed within society and explore the impact and influence of religion and belief within economic, political and social constructs.
You’ll critically analyse religion and faith within the framework of theistic and atheistic approaches to spirituality, human rights, sexuality, territory and space, and cultural relationships.
An MA in Religion, Culture and Society can lead to rewarding academic and professional careers in the private or public sector.
You could work as a race relations officer, in ministry, or as an equality/diversity training officer. Or you could become a youth worker, teacher, or lecture in further or higher education. And there are also opportunities to undertake further study for a PhD or professional doctorate.
