佛教研究 MPhil Buddhist Studies

The MPhil in Buddhist Studies is a two-year taught course offering training in a primary Buddhist canonical language and in-depth study of Buddhist history, philosophy, literature, and practice, with options for further language or thematic study. Offered by the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies, the degree can serve as a standalone qualification or as preparation for doctoral research. Students gain proficiency in at least one primary Buddhist language such as Pali, Sanskrit, Tibetan, or Classical Chinese, alongside structured study of Buddhist thought across traditions. The programme combines seminars, language classes, and a supervised dissertation to develop both linguistic expertise and critical scholarly understanding of the Buddhist world.
