University of London – MA Psychology of Religion
The programme approaches religion from the standpoint of psychology, without assuming the truth of religious claims and values. By asking what psychology can offer to our understanding of people’s religious beliefs, values, and behaviour, you will explore relationships between religious belief and behaviour, as well as those between religion, mental health and well-being, and the importance of social and contextual factors in religious development.
Note, Heythrop College recently announced that by 2018 the College will cease functioning in its current form. See the College’s report on The Future of Heythrop College.
