Applications Now Open – Introductory Award in Interreligious Studies

The Institute for Pastoral Ministry is pleased to announce that applications are now open for a new course, the Introductory Award in Interreligious Studies (MQF Level 4 – 3 ECTS).

In an increasingly diverse and interconnected society, understanding different religious traditions is essential for fostering dialogue, respect and peaceful coexistence. This course provides participants with an introduction to the main world religions, exploring their beliefs, traditions and practices while highlighting the importance of positive interreligious relations.

Throughout the course, participants will have the opportunity to broaden their knowledge of different faith traditions and develop a deeper appreciation of both their similarities and differences. Particular emphasis will be placed on interreligious dialogue, mutual respect, tolerance and understanding, encouraging participants to engage positively with people from different religious and cultural backgrounds.

The course will be delivered by Ms Carmen Grima and is open to anyone interested in developing their knowledge and understanding of world religions and interreligious relations.
