Career prospects
The Bachelor of Christian Theologies in an Ecumenical Perspective is aimed at students who are confronted with denominational and religious differences in their future profession and wish to respond appropriately.
Such professional fields can be found in politics (e.g. cultural and educational policy) as well as in business (e.g. diversity management, personnel management), development work (e.g. development projects that take into account religious norms in the field of work), public administration (e.g. urban planning) or social work (e.g. open youth work in religiously heterogeneous cities). The Bachelor's degree course in Christian Theologies in an Ecumenical Perspective is thus deliberately aimed at activities that lie outside the traditional fields of work in the churches.

Building bridges
The Christian Theologies in Ecumenical Perspective course has had a lasting impact on my perspective of faith. I am particularly impressed by the change of perspective between the denominations. Thinking my way into both the Protestant and Catholic faiths has made me think beyond denominational boundaries. In addition, by choosing a second subject and the Studium Generale, you have the opportunity to get to know other subject areas and also to recognize a connection between the subjects. The course is also attractive from a professional point of view, because during the course you gain the ability to build bridges between different faiths and cultures, and this is becoming increasingly important in our society.
