MEd Protestant Theology (Master of Education extension subject) at Heidelberg University

Heidelberg University, Germany

Programme overview

Protestant Theology involves much more than simply pastoral duties and religious education: Studying theology means discovering people, texts, and ideas from both the past and the present. Through the application of a unique variety of methods, students will learn to explore the Christian religion.

Faculty: Faculty of Theology  |  Department: Theologische Fakultät  |  Duration: 4 semesters (2 years)  |  Study mode: full-time (part-time option available); German-taught  |  Intake: Winter and summer semester  |  Location: Heidelberg, Baden-Württemberg, Germany

What you will study

Specialisation in two theological disciplines: Two major seminars of the student's choice; however, at least one exegetical major seminar must be taken during the Bachelor and Master studies. Interweaving of specialised theoretical knowledge and methods with concepts of research-based subject-specific didactics: Students will attend specialised survey lectures (Old Testament, New Testament, Church History, Systematic Theology, or Religious Studies), which correspond thematically with a seminar in religious education pedagogy.
