The four-semester Master’s programme "Christianity in Global Transformations" (CGT) offers a dynamic and interdisciplinary approach to Christianity in a highly international academic environment. The international master’s degree empowers graduates to critically examine the evolving role of Christianity in today’s rapidly changing world. It is designed to actively support students as they develop their own research interests, academic profile and professional career path. The programme prepares its graduates for academic careers as well as various professional fields outside academia.
With a focus on the global diversity of “Christianities” and the dynamic forces that shape Christian traditions, students are encouraged to tackle urgent global and local challenges, such as climate change, social justice, migration, and interreligious dialogue, while developing expertise in the areas that inspire them most.
CGT combines excellent academic study with practical experience, while balancing intellectual freedom with close mentoring possibilities. After gaining a broad foundation in the first semester, students choose one of three majors: Biblical Studies in Global Entanglements, Global Christianity and Religious Studies, or Systematics and Practical Studies. The third semester is dedicated to an internship, which facilitates practical engagement in accordance with the students' interest. In the fourth semester, students complete a Master’s thesis within their chosen field of specialisation.
This makes CGT in Halle a unique study programme and an excellent choice for those seeking a highly international academic environment, individual support in developing their own research path, and a programme that values the competencies, experiences, and perspectives they bring with them. It enables students to engage fully and critically with the role of Christianity and religion in today’s world, while equipping them to become thoughtful participants and leaders in processes of global transformation.
