Religious Studies (MA)

Extra-curricular

Community building

Throughout the year activities including lectures, excursions and social gatherings are organised by the programme, the T.F.L.S. Religious Studies Student Association, and the S.S.S. Leiden Society for Christianity and Culture. There also is an annual excursion to the Teylers Museum in Haarlem and the Catherijne Convent Museum in Utrecht as well as trips to current exhibitions relevant to the programme.

The teaching generally takes the form of small-scale seminars and tutorials, in which lively and engaging discussions are encouraged. The small class sizes give you a high degree of contact with both your lecturers and fellow students.
