Degree Programme Interreligious Studies

Logo Interreligious Studies deals with religious, societal, and intercultural aspects of interreligious competence. The certificate provides students with knowledge and competence of issues in a cultural and religious pluralistic world. Issues of peaceful co-existence, understanding of interreligious learning, practices and rituals are gained. As a cultural study, the interdisplinary approach will involve social science, theology, religious studies, intercultural pedagogical and practical internships in various religious groups and interreligious progammes.

At the heart of the College are academic studies, practical experience in interreligious dialogue, reflections, a variety of spiritual events, individual personal development and the acquisition of intercultural and interreligious competence.
