BA/BS in Interreligious Studies

The Bachelor's programme in Interreligious Studies prepares students to understand religious identities in multicultural societies shaped by migration and globalisation. It covers the history and present of different religious cultures and trains students to take different perspectives and to communicate between religious traditions. Skills in interreligious dialogue are relevant to business, education, politics, media, social work and culture. The degree is offered as a BA and an MA, in both major and minor form, by the Faculty of Theology. The BA major of 120 ECTS is studied alongside a minor from another faculty. The programme takes six semesters and is taught in German, with autumn intake and, with approval from the study advisers, spring intake.
