- Description/content
- The shape of World Christianity has been transformed through globalisation. Therefore, it is more important than ever to analyse the trans- and intercultural character of theology, encounter the cultural variety of Christianity, and reflect upon the interaction between Christianity and other religions. The "Intercultural Theology" MA programme addresses these objectives with a new approach to studying theology in this thrilling time of global change.
The MA programme Intercultural Theology focuses on Christian faith and its intercultural impacts. Within the courses of this programme, students not only acquire academic skills in the field of theology and religious studies but also experience a vivid intercultural and interreligious learning field in an international group setting.
Any kind of discriminatory practices, for example, gender discrimination or LGBTIQ discrimination, impede the intercultural learning process and will not be accepted.
The programme requires two years of full-time study. The language of instruction is English. Students obtain skills in intercultural communication, are supposed to learn basic German, and get the opportunity to learn relevant languages (e.g. Biblical Hebrew, Biblical Greek).
Students can spend a couple of months or a semester abroad at one of the partner institutions worldwide.
