Description

Religion matters in society: approximately 85% of the world's population identifies with a religion. And religion is an important factor in many national and international political, cultural, and social issues, such as climate change, sexual health, meaning-making, heritage, radicalization, migration, integration, conflict and peacebuilding, and discussions about religious diversity and identity.Experts in the field of religion are therefore needed in a world where religion is an integral and permanent part of everyday life.At the Faculty of Religion, Culture and Society, we offer various specialization tracks within the one-year MA in Theology and Religious Studies. Each track takes an interdisciplinary approach and studies 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)Will you join us in making a difference?
