Graduates are able to identify complex issues in theological or religious education on the basis of in-depth knowledge from theological, religious education and didactic subjects and to work on them independently. They can use their highly specialised knowledge from their studies as well as relevant new research results, sources and literature for professional tasks as well as for their personal development.
The Master’s Programme in Islamic-Theological Studies includes two specialisations, within the scope of which the graduates can either specialise in the field of Islamic Theology or in Islamic Religious Education.
Graduates acquire in-depth professional, interdisciplinary, interreligious and communicative competences in the fields of action of society, community and educational institutions. They also expand their knowledge in the field of gender and diversity research.
The specialisation in Islamic Theology prepares students for professions in mosque congregations and social institutions, but also in the public sphere, which require a full academic-theological education with a focus on Islamic-theological or Islamic spiritual guidance competence.
The specialisation in Islamic Religious Education prepares students for professions in educational institutions and social institutions, but also in the public sphere, which require a full-fledged academic theological education with a focus on Islamic religious education competence. The general foundations of educational science, the subject-specific and pedagogical-practical studies in connection with school practice complement the subject-specific education.
