About the Program

In the subject of Protestant Religious Education in the Master of Education degree program students acquire research-based knowledge of Christianity as a possibility for humanity to find meaning in life, as a guide to leading one's life and finding values and as an influential factor in western culture and society. The subject-specific topics covered in this program include systematic theology with questions from dogmatic theology and ethics as well as biblical criticism with questions raised by Old and New Testament exegetics. Ecumenical topics and different options of addressing religious plurality are also important areas covered in this degree program. While students in the bachelor's degree program focus on gaining subject-specific knowledge, the Master of Education degree program puts a stronger emphasis on educational sciences and subject didactics. The practical semester is a centerpiece of the degree program.
