Welcome Remarks
Welcome to the Department of Religious Studies and Philosophy of Kyambogo University, the academic centre par-excellence for the study of religions and philosophy. We take keen interest in examining religious beliefs, practices and institutions from an array of academic approaches. We objectively examine material culture, texts, films, arts, music, ritual and practices with a devotion to imparting academic knowledge and skills in inquisitive and scientific study of religions at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. We are committed to a secular, non-sectarian approach to religion as a phenomenon of human existence.
