Overview
About the program
Students in the Religion, Ethics, and Politics program at TU Dortmund University learn to address and understand the interaction between these spheres as well as the challenges that result from this complex field of tension and to develop interdisciplinary solutions. In doing so, they deal with the ethics and aesthetics of religions, analyze the relationship between religion and state in political systems, or discuss theological justifications for the political engagement of religious communities.
The tense relationship between religion and politics is one of the most important social issues of our time. Societal and scientific debates on the issue have been triggered by increasing religious pluralization, changing moral concepts, but also globalization and migration. How tolerant should societies be of religious groups and their rituals and practices? What values, such as equal rights for women and men, should not be open to discussion? What possibilities exist for cooperation between the state and religious communities and where is potential for conflict? How does religiousness or non-religiousness affect our identity? These are concrete sample questions that the Master's program 'Religion, Ethics, and, Politics' deals with.
MaREPol gives you the chance to focus on perspectives within or outside academia. That means that besides the chance to prepare for a scientific career, you will attend a course in project management where you acquire application-oriented knowledge and skills. Furthermore, you are offered the opportunity to do an internship in various areas such as national or international organizations, political parties, media institutions, NGOs, or a religiously oriented institutions. Additional to the curriculum, students can go abroad on an Erasmus stay for one semester to enjoy academic exchange, gain international experience, and imrpove their language skills.
