Centre for Buddhist Studies at University of Bristol (UK)
It is the only Centre for Buddhist Studies in the UK, and as well as the usual undergraduate and research degrees offers the only taught MA in Buddhist Studies in the country. The Centre serves as a focus for the co-ordination of collaborative study and research in Buddhist Studies within the South-west of England and South Wales. Because scholars working in the study of Buddhism in the UK are spread very thinly such collaboration and consultation is unfortunately rare. The Centre for Buddhist Studies is also involved in the promotion of lecture and seminar series on Buddhism, both within the university and also for the general public.

Buddhism Past and Present (Department of Asian Studies, La Trobe University, Australia)
A 13 week distance education unit taught online, or by correspondence, from La Trobe University, Victoria, Australia. It includes: lecture notes, audio recordings, readings and written assignments. For online students there are also discussion groups which act as tutorials. We explore the origins and evolution of the Buddhist tradition and its contemporary place in society and follow the progress of Buddhism through Indian history focusing on its responses to local cultural, political and economic conditions. We look at the philosophical underpinnings and practical applications of Buddhist doctrines and conclude with a study of the Buddhist Revival in the modern world.

The Barre Center for Buddhist Studies offers a variety of study and research opportunities, lectures, classes, seminars, workshops, conferences, retreats, independent study, and, in the future, a scholars-in-residence program. The study center offers research and publication facilities for Buddhist scholarship and translation. Its vision calls for dialogue between different schools of Buddhism and discussions with other religious and scientific traditions. The emphasis is always on the interrelationship between study and practice, and on exploring the relevance of classical teachings to contemporary life. The study center is located on 90 acres of wooded land in rural, central Massachusetts, one-half mile from the Insight Meditation Society. BCBS provides a peaceful and contemplative setting for the study and investigation of the Buddha's teaching.
