About Theology and Religious Studies, Master Degree - at University of Groningen
How are religion, conflict and peace related? How can anthropological research contribute to a better understanding of lifeworlds? And what are the boundaries of tolerance in societies?
Religion matters in society: 85% of the world's population identify themselves as religious. And religion is an important factor in many national and international political, cultural and social issues. For instance in relation to climate change, sexual health, meaning making, heritage, radicalization, migration, integration, conflicts and peacebuilding, and discussions about (religious) diversity and identity. Experts in the field of religion are therefore needed in a world in which religion is an integral and permanent part of everyday life. At the Faculty of Religion, Culture and Society, within the one-year MA in Theology and Religious Studies, we offer various specialisation tracks that, each from an interdisciplinary approach, study the phenomenon of religion in relation to specific topics
- Religion, Conflict and Globalization (RCG)
- Anthropology of Religion and Culture (ARC)
- Heritage and Religion (HR)
- Religion and Pluralism, Ancient & Modern (RP)
- Spiritual Care (Geestelijke Verzorging; taught in Dutch)
Do you join us in making a difference? Challenge yourself and study the religion factor in culture and society.
