Master of Arts in Religious Studies

The Master's in Religious Studies provides the opportunity to study the plurality of past and present religious traditions in Europe. This programme combines methodological tools from history, religious studies, and cultural studies to analyse the role of religion in Europe's complex and pluralistic societies as well as their global entanglements from a postcolonial perspective. It is possible to focus on General Religious Studies, Jewish Studies, Islamic Studies or the Cultural History of Orthodox Christianity. Each major is represented by a professor and a team of young researchers. The Department of Religious Studies is part of the research area of Religion – Society – Self-World Relations at the University of Erfurt.
