Welcome to the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Basel
Religious studies is a cultural studies and social science subject. It describes religion with scientific distance and compares its cultural, historical and social as well as its communicative, media and aesthetic aspects.
In Basel, religious studies has a special focus on European history of religion, cultural theory of religion, religion and law, contemporary religious history and economics of religion.
We are in close contact with the Faculty of Theology, the Jewish Studies and the Center of Religion, Economics and Politics.
