Religious Studies (MA)

Extracurricular

Community building

Throughout the academic year, a variety of activities are organised by the programme and the T.F.L.S. Religious Studies Student Association, including guest lectures, excursions, and social events. These activities provide opportunities to engage with fellow students, expand your academic horizons, and become part of the Religious Studies community. You can learn more through the association's Instagram account @studieverenigingtfls, as well as the programme's dedicated Religious Studies Instagram page @leidenreligion. 

Classes are typically taught in small seminars and tutorials, where discussion and critical exchange are central to the learning experience. Small class sizes ensure plenty of interaction with both lecturers and fellow students, creating a supportive and engaging academic environment.
