Career Opportunities

Four Nordic universities have joint their resources on this programme which gives you a wide range of choice in specialised thematic subjects. The programme is offered in English. The Religious Roots of Europe (RRE) is the first joint Master's programme at The University of Copenhagen and is offered by The Faculty of Theology in cooperation with three other Nordic universities (Aarhus University, Lund University, University of Oslo). Joint Master's programmes are desirable because of their natural international scope and due to the pooling of the competencies of more universities.
