Annotation

The social challenges of our time demonstrate how important not only the dialogue between religions is, but also the dialogue between religions and other disciplines and worldviews. The Master’s degree programme therefore offers students the opportunity to choose a Jewish, Christian, Islamic or Buddhist focus area. In interreligious and intercultural dialogue, students discover and reflect on the similarities and differences between religions. We do not see the differences as obstacles to dialogue, but as a driving force for mutual understanding.
