University of Religions and Denominations (Qom, Iran)

Initiating our mission in 1995 under the name of "The Center for Studies of Religions", we followed some internal educational programs. In a four-year period, these programs covered English, Sanskrit and Hebrew languages, and the students followed academic studies along with their seminary studies.

URD offers a wide range of undergraduate, postgraduate and research degrees. Students can choose from up to 30 degree combinations in the study of religions, denominations, sects, cults and newly-emerged religious or mystical movements with a distinctive regional focus and global relevance, taught by well-educated teachers in specialist faculties.

Religions and Denominations Research Center

Given the importance of research activities among the objectives of the establishment of the "University of Religions and Denominations", the governing body of this educational center allocated a specialized "Research Center" as an affiliated department to proceed academic researches on religions and denominations.
