FACTSHEET RESEARCH MASTER’S PROGRAMME
R E L I G I O U S ST U D I E S We hope you have great expectations for your time with us. So have we! We cannot wait to welcome you as members of our research community here in Utrecht. In the first week of the new academic year we want to welcome you in our programme. You will get to know teachers whose courses you are going to take, some of the research projects that we are engaged in and in which we want to engage you too. We will introduce you to our approach towards the study of religion and listen to your expectations and wishes. And of course, you are going to get to know your fellow students! This fact sheet is meant as a guide to accompany you after the first excitement of the introduction is over. The first semester is devoted to courses that will give you a thorough grounding in the field of Religious Studies, but you would do well to start mapping your own course towards the specialisation you want to pursue. Of course we will guide you in this process in person, but here you can find an overview of some of the choices that are open to you and the range of learning experiences we have to offer. Much of the information you might possibly want is on the UU-website. But because ‘almost everything’ is there, the answers to everyday questions may be hard to find at first. In many cases the best thing to do is sending me an e-mail with your questions or making an appointment so that we can sort out things and solve possible problems. I certainly do not know all the answers to your questions, but usually I do know who to approach to get the answer. Let me use this opportunity to wish you a great time in Utrecht, in the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies. Pooyan Tamimi Arab Programme coordinator
