Objectives - Master of Theology and Religious Studies

The Master's Programme (year 4)

The Master’s programme in theology and religious studies aims at an intensification of the initial formation offered in the Bachelor’s programme, preparing students (a) to engage in independent research in the domains of theology and religious studies and equipping them (b) to function as experts in both church and society. The study curriculum thus has a twofold focus: (a) students are given the opportunity to specialise in one of the faculty’s six research disciplines; (b) the curriculum continues to offer a general orientation towards the interdisciplinary academic investigation of the Christian faith traditions in the context of a multi-cultural and multi-religious society.
