hela Sverige Södertörn University is a higher education institution in Stockholm that conducts education, research and collaboration with the surrounding community for sustainable societal development. Education and research are conducted in the humanities, social sciences, technology and natural sciences. The university also provides police and teacher education programmes with intercultural profiles. A significant amount of our research is multidisciplinary and specialises in the Baltic Sea region and Eastern Europe. At Södertörn University we combine subjects, perspectives, people and experiences, searching for surprising syntheses, challenges and development.
The Study of Religions at Södertörn University is a research environment for the non-confessional, historical, ethnographic and social scientific study of religions worldwide. Various aspects of religious pluralism in the Baltic Sea region and Eastern Europe are important focus areas for our research. The Study of Religions is taught at all levels, from Bachelor's courses and Master's programmes to doctoral studies. The Study of Religions is also an important part of multidisciplinary programmes at Södertörn University. For more information, see

Doctoral education at the School of Historical and Contemporary Studies is part of a research area in the humanities in which aspects of society, culture and heritage are studied from different perspectives. The area is characterised by an empirical and theoretical focus on social and cultural change and long time perspectives. Historical Studies includes five subject areas for doctoral studies: Archaeology, Ethnology, History, History of Ideas, and the Study of Religions. For more information about Historical Studies, please click here (English version).
