The course of study

The Bachelor's program familiarizes you with central aspects of Christian theologies and their influences and imprints on European culture. In doing so, the degree programme takes an interdenominational viewpoint. Objects are considered from both a Roman Catholic and a Protestant point of view. In changing perspectives, you will recognize the differences and similarities between the two confessions and learn to understand the denominational imprints and their social effects. Confessional differences remain visible, but are discussed critically and constructively.

Career prospects

The Bachelor Christian Theologies in Ecumenical Perspective is aimed at students who are confronted with confessional and religious differences in their future profession and want to respond appropriately.

Such professional fields can be found in fields of politics (e.g. cultural and educational policy) as well as in business (e.g. diversity management, personnel management), development work (e.g. development projects in compliance with religious standards in the field of work), public administration (e.g. urban planning) or social work (e.g. open youth work in religiously heterogeneous cities). Thus, the Bachelor's programme in Christian Theologies from an ecumenical perspective deliberately aims at activities that lie outside the classical fields of work in the churches.

This is what Lea Wickler says about her course of study:

‘Building bridges’

The study programme Christian Theologies in an Ecumenical Perspective has had a lasting impact on my perspective on faith. Particularly impressive for me is the change of perspective of the denominations. Thinking of myself in the evangelical as well as in the catholic way of faith has led me to think beyond confessional boundaries. In addition, by choosing a second subject and studying Generale, you have the opportunity to get to know other departments and also to recognize a connection between the subjects. The degree program is also attractive from a professional point of view, because in the course of your studies you gain the ability to build bridges between different faiths and cultures, and this is becoming increasingly important in our society.
