Bristol Buddhist Studies

Description

Bristol Buddhist Studies, previously the Centre for Buddhist Studies at the University of Bristol was created in 1993 within the Department of Theology and Religious Studies as the first Centre for Buddhist Studies in the UK.

Bristol Buddhist Studies comprises three fulltime members of staff all in Theology and Religious Studies: Dr Rita Langer (Senior Lecturer in Buddhist Studies), Dr Benedetta Lomi (Senior Lecturer in East Asian Religions), and Dr Yael Shiri (Lecturer in Religious Studies), as well as Emeritus Professor Rupert Gethin.

At undergraduate level we offer a BA programme in Theology and Religious Studies where students may choose from a large variety of Buddhist Studies units; at graduate level we offer an MPhil programme with a Buddhist Studies focus and supervision of research, potentially leading to PhD. This is in addition to hosting various talks and events.
