About Theology and Religious Studies (research), Master Degree - at University of Groningen
How are religion, conflict and peace related? What are the boundaries of tolerance in societies, in past and present? And what is the significance of religious heritage in a secular society?
In this Research Master's programme, you will study how religion is embedded in historical and contemporary cultural contexts, and what the relationships are between religion and other cultural domains such as science, philosophy and politics. You will explore the impact of local and global socio-economic and political developments on religion, and how religion in turn contributes to these developments. By following multiple core modules, you will acquire an overview of current debates in the study of religion and develop key research skills.
In addition, we offer different specialization routes within which you can develop your individual research profile and skills. Your individual, tailor made route within the programme consists of a combination of course modules from one of the one-year master's specializations, research traineeships, (individual) tutorials and writing a thesis and a research proposal. The final specialisation occurs in the Research Master's thesis, which forms the basis of a PhD thesis proposal or an application for research funding.
A lecturer whose research interests in religion matches yours best, will act as your supervisor throughout the programme.
