MSc Programs in Buddhist Studies

A Master of Science degree is typically awarded to students who have completed a master’s program in science-related fields. A normal program can last from one to three years and prepares students for higher-level positions in their chosen area of study.

What is an MSc in Buddhist Studies? An MSc in Buddhist Studies gives students a deep understanding of the Buddhist religion and its impact on various cultures. In some programs language will be a critical component, and students may have the chance to study Japanese, Korean, Nepali, Sanskrit, Chinese and other relevant language. Other coursework will focus heavily on the many forms of Buddhism and its core doctrines and historical evolution.

With these new skills students are prepared to take higher positions within their chosen professional field, which may mean higher salaries or faster career trajectories. Additionally, they will have a better grasp of certain international cultures and improved communication skills.

The total cost of an MSc in Buddhist Studies program will depend on several factors, including the type of instruction, the student’s choice of institution and the length of the program. However, some students choose to cut expenses with online-based instruction or digital learning materials.

After completing this MSc program, students may move on to a doctorate program in a similar field. However, many enter the workforce as teachers or professors in the subject of Buddhism. Others may choose to use their language proficiency to enter the international business realm. In particular many graduates can be found working in Asia. Some students also use their new language skills to become translators at the professional level.
