Overview
A four-semester degree program Extended Ecumenical Studies is also available. Based on the assumption that activity in the ecumenical movement requires specialized historical and theological knowledge and in accordance with their international and interdisciplinary focus, these degree programs aim to make a contribution to the current, continually growing inter-religious dialog and the relationship between church and society. This aim is reflected in the orientation of the curricula, which is towards the plurality of Christianities, the (extra-)European churches and theologies, the types of unity being sought among the churches or in Christianity as well as the concepts of peaceful and respectful interaction among the religions.
Students in the Ecumenical Studies programme of the University of Bonn are enabled to sort out research questions across disciplines and independently solve complex problems while expanding their methodological and analytical competencies. Open reflection on the diverse religious and cultural backgrounds of students and instructors is regarded as a central aspect of the research-oriented profiles of these degree programs.
Possible lines of work:
Ecumenical activism (coordination of ecumenical relationships), religion journalism, academia (research management, teaching/research at universities, research institutions, etc.), editing/publishing, adult education.
