Religious Studies at Kent explores global religions and philosophies, as well as secular world views and approaches. We make connections between systems of belief to foster an understanding of different practices, cultures and world views.
We are committed to developing our various degree programmes across traditional disciplinary boundaries in ways that generate new insights as well as opening up new themes of interest across our various areas of work.
Our research expertise feeds into our teaching, exploring the wide range of religious and secular traditions and philosophies around the world.
