Orientation and Goals
Religions and religious perspectives on reality play an important role in a social and cultural context. They influenced and continue to unconsciously influence ways of thinking, response patterns, and values. As a result, knowledge concerning a variety of religions is ever more valuable; the more natural awareness of one's own traditions declines, the more new ones appear in a pluralised society. In the master's programme in Ecumenics and Religions,
students are strongly motivated through their own project work as well as through practical career related exploration (in for example journalism, social welfare work, academy work). The study goals are oriented toward the achievement and further development of scientific analytical, decision making, and executive skills in the research and practice of ecumenics and religious studies.
These skills encompass:
- a broad, scientifically based and critical understanding of ecumenics and religious studies
- the ability to carry out research or practical action on the basis of scientific methods and respect for social and ethical interests
