About the Program

The Master of Education program in Catholic Religious Education deals with the contents and traditions of the Christian faith using academic/scientific methods. The program focuses on the 'God question' and 'man question' as key components. Students deepen their knowledge of biblical, historical, systematic and practical theology themes. While the bachelor's program focuses on knowledge of school subjects, the Master's program emphasizes educational sciences and subject didactics. The teaching approach uses 'Elementarisierung' (breaking down difficult concepts into basic understandable elements). Students explore theological knowledge and teaching/learning processes in religious instruction, with special consideration to inclusion-related matters. The teaching degree for vocational schools combines a professional discipline with a school subject and educational sciences, with a practical semester as a key component.
