Comparative Religious Studies at University of Bonn

About

In the dual-subject option of the bachelor's degree program in Comparative Religious Studies students are taught the basics of religious studies methodologies and acquire the competence to apply this knowledge specifically to their occupational field or within a more research-oriented master's degree program. The required modules convey basic specialized knowledge, skills and methodologies. Students knowledge of theories, methodologies and religious history is optimally complemented by concrete practical contacts with local religious communities. Such contacts enable students to explore specific religions individually and deepen their knowledge and understanding of them. Students set an area of focus for themselves by their choice of elective modules. The electives, which focus on religious history, can also be aligned to the second subject of the dual-subject degree program in order to achieve synergies between the two subjectsâ€”at least to some degree. The central objective of this degree program is to provide students with basic knowledge of religious studies to an extent that will enable them to continue their studies in a research-oriented masters degree program in religious studies or find a position where they can use the knowledge they acquired in both subjects of their bachelors studies. The usefulness of the contents of this dual-subject BA program for prospective employers can be increased by students choice of second subject. This subject must be combined with a second subject. Possible lines of work: Intercultural communication, intercultural management, international development cooperation, peace and conflict research, international educational work (adult education, language courses, etc.), politics (policy consulting), culture (conservation/maintenance/management of global cultural heritage, cultural institutions, culture management, museums, etc.), tourism (long-distance, educational and cultural tourism), journalism, academia (teaching/research at universities, research institutions, etc.)
