Our BA in Comparative Religion and Social Anthropology delves into religion's deep connection with human existence.

The program examines key elements like rituals, myths, sacred spaces, and iconography as fundamental aspects of societies throughout history. Students will engage with subjects including Judaism, theodicy, biblical studies, social theory, power dynamics, and ethnographic research.
