Is this Master program right for me?

Religion is changing – through globalisation, digitisation, and cultural diversity. This is precisely where the master’s program Religion – Media – Interculturality comes in.

In this program, you will explore current questions at the intersection of theology, media, and interculturality: How is religion communicated today? What role does it play in public life and society? And how is faith evolving in digitally and globally interconnected environments?

The master’s program provides you with research-oriented knowledge, theological discernment, and intercultural competence. You will analyze religious, media, and societal transformation processes and learn to critically and forward-thinkingly interpret them.

For anyone who wants to understand, reflect on, and actively shape religion in today’s world.
