Key Summary

    About : The MA in Religious Diversity in a Globalised World (EM) examines religious expressions within a contemporary global context. The program focuses on understanding the dynamics of various faiths and their interactions, equipping students with tools to analyze the role of religion in society. It incorporates interdisciplinary approaches and fosters critical thinking about cultural and ethical issues surrounding religious diversity.
    Career Outcomes : Graduates can pursue careers in sectors such as education, community development, social work, or international relations. Opportunities also exist in non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and interfaith dialogue initiatives, where understanding of religious diversity is essential.

In a globalised world, there is a need for experts on religion who can help explain and solve conflicts, and who can find common ground to bridge differences between groups with various religious viewpoints and political aims. In this unique international two-year Program we train these experts in understanding religious movements, identities, and diversity, and how such phenomena interact with wider social, cultural, political and economic environments, in both historical and contemporary contexts. It prepares you to make a difference in careers like diplomacy, international development, research, journalism, or social welfare.

The Program is offered by ReD Global, a network of European and Latin American universities and professional organizations, funded by the European Commission. If you are looking for a personalised learning experience in a world-leading interdisciplinary research environment, this is the Program for you!
