  • Be familiar with the major theoretical issues and debates in religious studies: historiography and bibliography of the various fields studied, scientific debates, and the state of research.
  • Be proficient in the methods and tools of religious studies research from a transdisciplinary perspective: fieldwork approaches, survey techniques, and archival knowledge.
  • Acquire an initial specialization in one of the disciplines taught (anthropology, history, sociology, philosophy), through specialized courses and the writing of a master's thesis that may lead to research leading to a doctoral degree.
