MRes Sikh Studies

Core module

You will study one core module:

This module consists of a series of formal discipline-specific sessions taught by members of the School of Philosophy, Theology and Religion. Topics that will be addressed may include Conducting Empirical Research; Reading in theology; Research skills; Thesis planning; Textual Studies and Historical Research.
Assessment: 4,000-word written assignment

You will then choose two optional modules. We would recommend you take the two models that are explicitly about Sikhism which will prepare you for your 20,000-word thesis. Recommended modules include:

• Contemporary Issues in Sikhism

• Sikh Perspectives on Interreligious Relations

The programme is completed with a 20,000-word thesis, which you will complete with the support of an expert academic supervisor.

Please note that the optional module information listed on the website for this programme is intended to be indicative, and the availability of optional modules may vary from year to year. Where a module is no longer available we will let you know as soon as we can and help you to make other choices.
