Hello,
I'm wondering if anyone knows of any well priced master's in Philosophy or something related to Religion (example Buddhism, Christian philosophy, etc) in English. It's okay if it's from an unknown university in Asia, Western or Eastern Europe. I'm hoping that it's less than $5,000.
It's just hard to go through the programs offered from those areas of the world. The universities out there make it a bit difficult to find the programs, because of the way the information is presented.

Thank you. That's one option. Curious about what else is out there. Specially regarding Buddhism, Christian Philosophy, Western Continental Philosophy, etc. I want to make a list of about 20 programs and then take it from there.

If you want to study religion and not a religion, I think those programs are usually called religious studies as opposed to theology. Theology programs are typically designed for clergy, deacons, and others who want to work in a religious organization.

Theology is the study of religion. Not only for the clergy...
Here you have one that maybe interest you. The problem is that I do not know if the exams can be done online or are in person. Looks like they have a telegram channel. If interested you could always ask. https://www.ull.es/en/masters/religious-...d-society/
Another one is this: https://holyapostles.edu/academics/graduate-degrees/
you have some degrees there. But they are more than 5k.

The reality is that theology programs are typically focused on one religion because they're intended for people who are of that faith. If you want to study multiple religions from a secular standpoint, those programs are usually not called theology.

What do you think? Interesting.
Thank you. A lot of those UK universities are outside of my budget though. I looked at a continental philosophy masters from an UK university before and the curriculum looked really good, but it would come out to $10,000+ after it's all set and done and I don't really want to go into debt right now.
Domuni's curriculum looks really good. I'm going to do some research on its alumni and how the classes are conducted.
