Religious studies and theology at Cardiff University
Hear from academics and students about what it is like to study religion with us.
Studying MA Islam in Contemporary Britain has been an amazing and fulfilling experience. I have thoroughly enjoyed learning under the best scholars in British Muslim Studies. The Islam-UK Centre is filled with incredible scholars that I have been able to benefit from both inside and outside the classroom environment. Alongside the fascinating taught component, I have enjoyed engaging in the Centre’s wider life; guest speakers, community projects and a warm social atmosphere has enabled me to interact with the cutting edge of research in British Muslim Studies. I would strongly recommend the MA to anybody interested in British Muslims.
