STUDENTS will now be able to study Hinduism online in a new education scheme run the by the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies (OCHS) on Monday (February 2).
The Understanding Hindu Identity course will be structured into seven sessions covering scriptures, practices, caste and gender, and modern trends in Hinduism.
The online course will be closely modelled on the classroom courses taught by the OCHS for the past seven years in Oxford, Leicester, Harrow and Birmingham.
OCHS Director, Shaunaka Rishi Das, said ‘This course follows the highest standards of scholarship and delivers them back to the communities in an easily accessible way.’
Students who complete the course will receive 10 CATS points and will counted towards applying for a University degree.
