Skills for the future

Studying theology offers much more than just religious knowledge. It promotes important skills such as critical thinking, communication and intercultural competence, which are useful in numerous fields of activity.

Critical thinking and reflection

Studying theology sharpens the ability to question complex questions and reflect on them profoundly. Students are empowered to get to the bottom of texts and ideas, to examine arguments and to represent their own opinion in a well-founded manner. This skill is valuable in any career, whether within or outside the church.

Intercultural and interreligious competence

Theology deals with various belief systems and cultures. In doing so, students develop a better understanding of the diversity of the world and the competence to mediate between different perspectives. This is particularly important in global, multicultural work environments.

Empathy and social responsibility

Studying theology promotes the ability to empathize with other people and take responsibility for the common good. Students are sensitized to social justice and develop a commitment to actively contribute to the improvement of society — whether through social work, in church or in NGOs.

problem-solving skills and ethical decision making

Theological issues are often complex and require creative solutions. It enables you to look at difficult problems from different perspectives and to make ethical decisions. This qualification is particularly valuable in management positions, in human resources or in social work.
