Master's Programme in Religion and European Public Life

Education facts

Code: RRE2N

How is European society shaped in an era of polarisation, cultural, religious and ethnic diversity and increasing tension within and without the EU’s borders? What role does religion play in those processes? The Master's Programme in European Public Life is a one-year programme in English. It is aimed at those who wish to understand, analyse and contribute in a practical way to a sustainable European society where religious traditions play a significant role. The programme has clear social relevance, allowing you to work with real problems and actual actors. It also provides you with tools for influence: from theory and analysis to feasible policy and practice. You will receive an education that gives you valuable skills for working in government agencies, regions and municipalities, culture, education, international organisations, think tanks and the media as well as for collaboration and dialogue in the civil society and religious communities sector.
