    As explained below, the new Master's Degree in Science of Religions: History and Society is born from the conviction that it is necessary to strengthen with an inter-university alliance the regulated offer of academic studies on religions in the Spanish Public University, thus bringing us closer to the already centenary and brilliant tradition of studies on religions in other countries.

    The general objective of this Master's Degree is to provide a high degree of training in Religious Studies to future researchers and professionals from different fields (teachers, politicians, administration technicians, diplomats, journalists, cultural managers, social workers, aid workers, etc.).

    The Master will offer training on religion as a cultural system and a theoretical and methodological apparatus for the analysis and understanding of the religious phenomenon. Particular attention will be paid to the formation of a specific sensitivity for the analysis of the testimonies of each religion. This reflection will be linked to the historical development of the religious phenomenon, so that special attention is given to religions in diachrony, the basis for the perception of their own transformations in conceptual, moral and liturgical terms, as opposed to the idea of the immovability of religious constructions.

    The Master also aims to provide the necessary training for the management of diversity in multi-religious societies from the different spheres of state administration (local, autonomous and state), and from the elaboration of public policies, especially with regard to legislation and educational foundations.

    It is, therefore, two complementary and parallel itineraries, the first dedicated to the historical analysis of the religious phenomenon and the second to provide adequate tools for those who face the tasks of regulating or facilitating the coexistence of communities in a multi-religious society.

    reasons to study master in Religious Sciences: History and Society

    Important

    This master's degree is offered entirely online, through a virtual platform provided by the Pablo Olavide University of Seville (UPO), coordinator of the master's degree. Students enrolled at UC3M are registered on the virtual platform by the UPO to follow the online classes. Classes are recorded at the time of their teaching, so there is also the possibility of seeing the classes online later if they could not be followed live. In addition, the exams, papers, and defenses of the final master's papers are carried out through the aforementioned platform on the dates established by the UPO.

    On the other hand, should there be sufficient demand to attend the UC3M in person, to follow the classes, there is the possibility of setting up a classroom on our Getafe Campus from where the classes would be followed.
