In this English-taught Master’s programme you will learn how to systematically reflect on fundamental questions and ideas that play a central role in science, culture and faith. This will help you to bridge the gap between faith and knowledge.

Something for you?

  • Radboud offers the option between a tailor-made 1 year and a comprehensive 3 year theology programme
  • The flexible, tailor-made one-year programme allows you to flourish as a scholar in your own field of specialization
  • Theology at Radboud is taught in small groups with personal and intensive support from teachers

We offer the following specialisations:

  • Biblical Exegesis. This English-taught specialisation of the Master’s programme in Theology will focus on textual interpretations of biblical writings. Master’s students will explore key concepts in Biblical texts with respect to their cultural and historical context.
  • History of Church and Theology. Students of the Master’s specialisation in Church History are trained to investigate historical developments with a critical and analytical eye.
  • Practical Theology. In the English-taught Master’s specialisation in Practical Theology, you will explore religious identity in a pluralistic, individualised society.
  • Systematic Theology. Learn to enhance your capacity for theological reflection and Christian intellectual, so that you can confidently enter the public debates on issues as atheism, post-secularism and science.

In an increasingly globalized world, even more institutions recognize the need for religious literacy. MA in Theology can provide skills in research, communication, writing, and interpretation.
Graduates with an MA in Theology are employed in various leadership positions in dioceses, religious congregations, universities, and colleges, or start working as researchers, policy makers embraced by all fields, educators, pastoral care workers, or spiritual counsellors. Other professions include journalism, museum curators, creative industries, and archives.
