What will I learn?
The study programme offers a comprehensive overview of the central contents of the Christian faith and its formations in history and the present. In addition, the basic features of other religions, spiritualities and world views are developed. Students learn various scientific methods for analyzing texts from the Bible and tradition. This strengthens their ability to argue and judge in church and social discussions. This enables them to accompany students in their questions about faith, meaning and happiness. In addition to "Religion", a second subject must be chosen. Students deepen their pedagogical knowledge at the School of Education and in practical phases at school.

What makes Salzburg so special as a place to study?

With the Fakultätsschwerpunkt “Theologie interkulturell und Studium der Religionen” (Intercultural Theology and Religious Studies) we focus on different cultural religious contexts and examine the meaning of faith for the modern post-secular society. Our students’ contentment lies close to our faculty’s heart. Small courses, constant support and a personal atmosphere contribute to our students’ well-being.
