The four-semester master’s programme Christianity in Global Transformations (CGT) offers an advanced approach to Christianity and its theological dimensions. The aim of the international master’s degree is to enable graduates to critically examine the role of Christianity in global transformations from an interdisciplinary perspective. The focus is on the global diversity of “Christianities” and their social and religious-cultural processes that (de)stabilize and (re)shape the diverse variants of Christianity in their contexts. This is particularly true in view of common global and local challenges such as climate change, social injustice, religiously legitimized violence, emigration and immigration as well as dealing with intercultural and interreligious differences, to name but a few.
The programme combines theoretical studies and practical experiences. After a broad overview of the topics in the first semester, you will have the chance to focus on one of the possible majors: „Biblical Studies in Global Entanglements“, „Global Christianity and Religious Studies“ & „Systematics and Practical Studies“. The third semester is dedicated to an internship (academic exchange or practical work), while the fourth semester is reserved for the composition of a master’s thesis in the field of your chosen specialization.
This turns CGT in Halle into a unique study programme providing a broad overview as the essential base for a critical analysis and engagement with the role of today’s Christianity and religion in general. At the same time it allows specialisation that combines practice and theory, always considering current challenges and global transformation processes.
