Online Buddhist Studies Degree :: Accredited Universities

The MA Buddhist Studies at the University of South Wales is entirely offered by distance learning. The course is delivered by an international team of established scholars based in the UK, Hong Kong and Taiwan so students benefit from the expertise of these internationally renowned tutors.

Due to the ability to be able to study the course entirely online the masters programme attracts students who have an interest of Buddhism from all around the world. This offers flexibility to students whereby study and participation can be fitted in freely around other commitments. The learning resources and contact with tutors and fellow students are provided on the internet through the University’s Virtual Learning Environment. This enables you, wherever you are in the world, to be part of an internet-based group to study, explore and discuss Buddhism using high quality, stimulating and academically rigorous materials.

The MA Buddhist Studies has been running since 2001. The unique course materials were developed by Professor Peter Harvey from the University of Sunderland and the University of South Wales has recently taken up the course since Professor Harvey’s retirement.
