As a student of the track Exploring a Discipline, you are given both the freedom to delve deeply into a religious topic of your choice, and the guidance to get the most out of this specialisation. This track is unique to Europe and is taught at VU Amsterdam.
Studying in the inspiring environment of the city of Amsterdam and the multi-religious School of Religion and Theology at VU Amsterdam, you will be able to pursue your own area of interest within the field of theology and religious studies.
You will find this one-year programme ideal if you:
- want to deepen your expertise in, and knowledge of, a particular discipline or topic within theology or religious studies;
- are already a professional in the field of theology or religious studies (minister, teacher, chaplain, etc.) and want to deepen your knowledge.
You can either create a fully personalised programme, or follow one of the study routes; these are offered through the centres and chairs of the School of Theology and Religion and its affiliated institutions.
Beyond these study routes, the programme coordinator is always happy to engage in dialogue concerning a tailor-made programme. The programme can also serve as the first year of the two-year Research MA in Theology and Religious Studies.
Exploring a Discipline is one of the tracks of the Master's programme in Theology and Religious Studies.
