The Bachelor’s Programme in Islamic-Theological Studies includes two specialisations which allow students to specialise in the field of Islamic Theology or Islamic Religious Education. It systematically combines research and teaching and enables graduates to apply the theories, methods and instruments of the discipline in a practice-oriented way.

In addition to advanced knowledge and skills in the subject, the graduates also acquire the competence to be innovative and to have a critical, scientifically responsible way of dealing with faith and religion in the public. They also will have an awareness for questions of gender research.

The specialisation in Islamic Theology qualifies students for work in mosque congregations in the field of non-school education, counselling and spiritual guidance, e.g. as prayer leaders, adult education, children's and youth work as well as spiritual care in hospitals, for seniors, in prisons and in the military.

The specialisation on Islamic Religious Education qualifies for all areas in education, such as schools, religious education, adult education, children’s and youth work as well as public relations and consulting. The subject-specific training is complemented by fundamentals of educational studies, subject didactics and educational-practical studies in connection with practical school experience.
