  STUDIES OF  RELIGION

WHAT IS STUDIES OF RELIGION ABOUT?

The Studies of Religion II course acknowledges that there are many ways of studying religion. It investigates the significance of the role of religion in society and, in particular, within Australian society. This course enables students who live in a multifaith and multicultural society to progress from a broad understanding of religious traditions to specific studies within these traditions. The syllabus provides a focus on religious expression in Australia and, also, investigates religion’s place within the global community.
