Protestant Theology

In the Protestant Theology degree program students acquire advanced research-oriented knowledge as well as methodological and analytical competencies in all of the main theological disciplines (Old Testament, New Testament, Church History, Systematic Theology and Practical Theology). Students broaden their knowledge of Christianity as a possibility for humanity to find meaning in life, as a guide to leading one’s life and finding values and as an influential factor in western culture and society. In addition, they explore acts of leading in societal and church institutions as well as related conditions and effects.

In particular, students learn how to critically assess phenomena of Christian religion in history and today, conduct independent research and solve complex problems, with a particular focus on the reformational perspective. An important objective in this process is that students acquire key qualifications that are trans-disciplinary and professionally relevant.
