History and Culture of Religions
This course aims at developing historians in the areas of History and Culture of the Religions. The goal is to introduce the students to the study of the problems that define the great historical religions and that determine the dialogue between the Eastern and the Western Cultures, as well as the problems of the construction of the matrix/the basis of the medieval, modern and contemporary European cultures. This course also aims at filling a national gap in the area of historiography about History and Culture of the Religions, thus resorting to the human and scientific capital available at a great level at the University of Lisbon.
Masters in History and Culture of Religions will be able to continue their studies at a 3rd cycle level (PhD), in one of the specialties of this scientific area. The Master's degree in History and Culture of Religions also confers a specialization level on those qualified to teach in primary and secondary education.
