This stands among the few UK postgraduate programs specializing in Sikh religious studies.

Conduct independent research on any Sikh Studies topic approved by your advisor. The coursework component offers insights into Sikh theology, anthropological perspectives, and specific case studies, particularly focusing on modern contexts.

Rather than emphasizing language skills, this program takes a thematic approach - all readings are in English, with no language prerequisites (including Punjabi). It cultivates analytical abilities to critically evaluate Sikh texts and scholarly works by both Sikh and non-Sikh authors.

Applicants for a PhD will also need to hold a Masters qualification at Merit level or above (or its international equivalent), usually in a relevant area.
Any academic and professional qualifications or relevant professional experience you may have are normally taken into account, and in some cases, form an integral part of the entrance requirements.
