MA Global Religions

At Lancaster we specialise in analysing the pivotal role religion plays in global politics, cultures and societies. We see the influence of religion extending from party politics to international conflict, and from gender equality to conspiracy theories. Our MA is grounded in the lived experiences and practices of people of diverse faiths around the world, and it explores theories and methods from multiple disciplines. Join us as we explore the complex political implications and cultural significance of global religion.

Global leadership programmes

The School of Global Affairs also offers three interconnected master’s degrees, each of which provides distinctive opportunities to develop the skills, knowledge, relationships and partnerships needed to meet the global challenges of our time.

Uniquely, these three programmes are built around a shared ethos and learning architecture. Programme-specific modules build in-depth knowledge of your chosen topic, while cross-programme modules offer global leadership skills and practical collaborations with strategic external partners.

Teaching, research and engagement activities are integrated across the programmes, while opportunities to critically engage with global affairs, the environment, AI and health are embedded throughout. All three Global Leadership master’s degrees address these key themes through the lenses of the arts, humanities and the social sciences
