Interpreting Religion. Designing Media. Understanding Cultures.
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 thinking, interdisciplinary research, and global horizons. You 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 you for roles that require theological reflection, intercultural competence, and media communication skills.
The master's program explores religious, societal, and media transformation processes in a globally connected and pluralistic world. Key questions are: How do media and digitization shape religious communication? How does religion influence society and the public sphere? How can faith-based content be conveyed convincingly today? What makes intercultural and interreligious coexistence successful? How is Christianity lived and shaped in different ways around the world?
