Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Chemistry] From University of Brighton

Since the 1990s, religious issues have assumed a growing importance in global, national and regional institutions and policy processes.

This was dramatically highlighted by the attacks on the World Trade Centre, the Pentagon and the abortive attack that crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania (possibly heading for the White House) on September 11, 2001, and the events that have followed since.

The Religion, Politics and Society programme offered by the University of BirminghamÊexplores the theoretical, conceptual and methodological approaches to the subject by focusing on the relationship between organised religions and the nation-state, as well as the global processes that promote religious conflict and conflict resolution.Ê

This programme is ideal for current and aspiring policymakers and analysts in international, national and regional institutions engaged in management of conflict, diversity, inter-religious relations and community development.
