Theology for a World in Transformation

Master of Arts (M.A.)

About the Program

The Master's programme 'Theology for a World in Transformation' addresses the profound processes of transformation in the 21st century: ecological crises, political conflicts, technological innovations, and more, which are raising fundamental questions of orientation in an increasingly globalized world marked by (religious) pluralism. The program explores Catholic theology as a discipline relevant to the present context and as a (self-) critical science that can contribute to the humane shaping of society and the world. The program does not formally require prior studies in theology or religious studies and is addressed to all Bachelor's graduates interested in critically reflecting on a changing world from a theological perspective.
