What's the Master about?
The master’s program Religion – Media – Interculturality explores, from a theological perspective, how religion evolves under the conditions of globalization, digitization, and cultural diversity. The focus is on the intercultural expressions of Christianity, its interreligious connections, and the ways religious content is communicated today across different media contexts.
The course combines theological reflection, interdisciplinary research, and global horizons. Students examine the relationship between religion and the public sphere, how beliefs are conveyed, and how differences in pluralistic societies can be constructively addressed.
The master’s degree prepares graduates for roles that require theological reflection, intercultural competence, and media communication skills.
