This degree will give you an insight into the religious and philosophical traditions of East Asia, putting them in their cultural and historical contexts and exploring how they are changing in an increasingly globalised world. You'll study the main traditions of Buddhism, Daoism, Shinto and Confucianism, as well as forms of folk religion and the encounter with Christianity and Islam. Using a range of approaches, you'll explore these traditions through the prisms of anthropology, sociology, theology and cultural and historical studies. You'll also have the chance to specialise in topics that particularly interest you when you select from optional modules. You even have the option to learn a language (Chinese, Japanese or Thai) although we teach all modules in English. Taught by experts in an internationally recognised centre for the study of East and South East Asia, this degree will equip you with an understanding of the religious life of this vibrant and fast-growing region. We have an impressive variety of library resources to support the full range of your studies. With over fifty years of acquisitions, the Chinese collection housed in the beautiful Brotherton Library is one of the best collections of modern Chinese books in the country. The Special Collections held in the Brotherton also contain extensive archive, early printed and manuscript material to help you in your research across areas such as theology and religious studies.<br><br>Study abroad: Optional and Work placement: Optional
