MA in Theology & Religious Studies (research)
Religion and culture form a challenging field of interdisciplinary study. This Research Master's offers you a thorough training in the sub disciplines of theology and religious studies.
The programme is a mix of a compulsory foundation and an individual route in which you can specialize further in terms of both content and methodology. In the core modules, you learn to define your own position as a junior researcher.
The University of Groningen offers you an unique approach to the study of religion. In the study of the three monotheistic religions, considerable attention is paid to alternative movements. The program explores how religion is embedded in culture. The global and diachronic perspective of research is also represented. It is important to conduct research not only from Western and modern perspectives, but also from other cultural and historical ones.
The individual route comprises three elements: electives , research traineeships, and writing a thesis and a research proposal. The electives are designed to equip you with in-depth knowledge of specialized subjects, together with subject-specific skills and methodological knowledge. The final specialization occurs in the Research Master's thesis, which forms the basis of a PhD thesis proposal or an application for research funding.
