International Semester at UCS

Religious Studies and Theology & Human Rights and Democracy programs at University College Stockholm invite applications for a semester of study (in residence) in Stockholm.

The International Semester provides students with the tools for interpreting and understanding historical and contemporary themes that respond to the challenges that characterize the complexities of life in religious communities in a rapidly changing world.

The International Semester consists of four courses that address current issues in the fields of Human Rights, Theology, and Religious Studies. The International Semester consists of courses that focus on global Christianity, practice theory, reconciliation, and the rights of minorities. The course of study consists of the following:
