Religious Studies

The Master's in Religious Studies provides the opportunity to study the plurality of past and present religious traditions in Europe. This programme combines methodological tools from history, religious studies, and cultural studies to analyse the role of religion in Europe's complex and pluralistic societies as well as their global entanglements from a postcolonial perspective. It is possible to focus on General Religious Studies, Jewish Studies, Islamic Studies or the Cultural History of Orthodox Christianity.
