Contents
How do people talk about the climate, sustainability, war or diseases? What are the everyday strategies they choose to cope with this and other current problems? How do different religions live together in the world? What concepts of nature, communication or power do South American peoples have and which theories and methods can we use to understand them? The Critical Cultural and Religious Studies major invites you to learn about human behaviour in groups, to get to know foreign perspectives and contexts, and thus to overcome prejudices. You will learn the fundamentals of the three disciplines of empirical cultural studies, religious studies and social and cultural anthropology. This subject includes the ability to conduct independent scientific work using the appropriate methods.
An integral part of the combined Bachelor's degree is the MarSkills programme, in which you will acquire valuable, future-oriented skills.
