About this programme
The 21st century is characterised by profound processes of transformation: ecological crises, political conflicts, technological innovations, and more, which are raising fundamental questions of orientation in an increasingly globalised world marked by (religious) pluralism. This is happening at both the personal and the societal levels. The Church and theology are part of these transformation processes. At the same time, theology offers the potential to deal responsibly with transformation processes and the challenges that accompany them. The new Master’s degree programme addresses this challenge in two ways: On the one hand, the outlined horizon becomes the starting point to get to know Catholic theology in interdisciplinary discourse as a discipline that is relevant to the present context and is itself undergoing change. On the other hand, the transforming world also forms the goal of the programme: Catholic theology is explored as a (self-)critical science that, based on its self-image, influences social discourse and can contribute to the humane shaping of society and the world.

Prerequisites
The Master’s programme "Theology for a World in Transformation" is addressed to all Bachelor’s graduates who are interested in critically reflecting on a changing world from a theological perspective. It does not formally require prior studies in theology or religious studies. To pursue the programme with both enjoyment and success, applicants should be motivated to engage with this perspective and demonstrate a fundamental openness to theological thinking. Helpful — though not required — are prior academic experience related to theology (for example in philosophy or cultural studies), as well as biographical experiences with religion and the Church (such as through church-based youth work or internships). If the Bachelor’s certificate has not been issued at the time of application, proof of at least 150 ECTS credits in total must be provided to facilitate an uninterrupted transition to the Master’s degree programme in the semester immediately following. The certificate must then be obtained by the end of the re-enrolment period for the third subject semester of the TWT Master’s degree programme at the latest.
