Description
Kursen behandlar religionen som identitetsskapande faktor. Islam, judendom, orientalisk kristendom och de ickemuslimska minoriteternas situation samt sektbildningen inom islam studeras. Den identitet som religionstillhörighet ger sätts i relation till nation och etnicitet. Kursen behandlar också den religiösa majoritets- och minoritetsproblematiken i vissa stater. Särskild uppmärksamhet ägnas åt betydelsen av genus, religiös identitet och etnisk identitet i den politiska samhällsordningen.
Note!
The course is not open for applications through antagning.se / universityadmissions.se next semester. Please contact the department for more information!
How to apply
Lund University uses a national application system run by University Admissions in Sweden. It is only possible to apply during the application periods: October–January for autumn semester and June–August for spring semester.
Extended application deadline
Sometimes the application deadline is extended for a specific programme or course. In these cases you will find the message "open for late application" by the programme/course information on universityadmissions.se. You apply with the usual application steps. As long as this message is showing, it is possible to apply, but late applications are processed in order of date, so it is still important to apply as soon as possible. Please note that if the programme/course does not have an extended deadline, it is not possible to apply late.
First or Second Admission Round?
All international students are encouraged to apply to the First admission round. This round takes place many months before the start of a semester and gives students the time they need to pay their tuition fees, apply for and receive their residence permit (if required), find housing, etc.
The Second admission round is an alternative for students from EU/EEA countries as they do not need a residence permit. Non-EU/EEA students will most likely not have enough time to obtain their permit before the start of the semester. However, even EU/EEA students are advised to apply during the First admission round, as some programmes can be applied for only in the January round. Also, this provides applicants with an admission decision much earlier, which is helpful in making decisions about their studies.
Tuition Fees
