The Master in Religious Studies covers a broad spectrum of religions and their manifestations. The study program features a combination of methods and theories pursuing dimensions of interreligious and intercultural exchange, religion and society, diversity and gender, orders and hierarchies, philosophy and ethics, literature, media, and art. Within the program, you can choose one of four different foci: 1^st Comparative Religion; 2^nd Cultural History of Judaism; 3^rd Cultural History of Christianity; 4^th Cultural History of Islam. Our multi-disciplinary approach offers a set of academic skills that will enhance a wide range of career opportunities. Please notice that the language of instruction is almost exclusively German.
