Religion, Society and Global Issues

This programme gives knowledge of various relationships between religion and society in an increasingly global and multicultural world.

The study programme is based on courses in the social sciences and religious studies. An essential part of the programme is to give insight into the different ways by which religion is shaped by various local and regional social conditions.
This involves courses within:

??? Ethics
??? Sociology of religion
??? Intercultural communication
??? Diaconia

The programme provides opportunities to specialize according to the students' own interests. The programme is interreligious in its orientation.

Master's degree qualifies for further studies on a doctoral level.
