Christian Theologies from an Ecumenical Perspective

The degree program

The bachelor’s program introduces students to the central aspects of Christian theologies and their influences on and characterizations of European culture. The degree program takes an interdenominational point of view. It looks at its objects from both a Roman Catholic and a Protestant point of view. The change of perspective will present the differences and similarities between the two denominations and teach the students a proper understanding of the denominational variations and their social effects. Denominational differences remain visible, but are critically and constructively discussed.

Students acquire the ability to perceive the denominational roots of everyday spirituality and the social structures, understand the significance of these roots and reason in a denominationally sensitive area in a manner that takes the needs of all parties involved into account.

Professional prospects

The degree program is targeted at students who will be confronted with denominational and religious differences in their future profession and want to be able to respond appropriately. Such professions can be found in the area of politics (e.g. cultural and educational policy) as well as in business (e.g. diversity management, HR management), development work (e.g. development projects in consideration of religious norms in the field of work), public administration (e.g. urban planning, civil registry) or social work (e.g. open youth work in religiously heterogeneous cities). The B.A. “Christian Theologies from an Ecumenical Perspective” therefore deliberately focuses on work outside of the traditional fields of work of organized churches.
