Roles that will be open to you when you graduate include:
- working in research areas that connect societal issues with religion
- a community organizer
- advisor or manager of educational programmes in the field of religion and society. This is a function that is in increasing demand, given today’s widespread ‘religious illiteracy’ (in some parts of the world);
- policy advisor on religion in governmental and NGO contexts
If you finish your first four courses with an 7,5 or higher on average, you may switch from this Master’s programme to the Research Master; this must be approved by the Examination Board before February 1st for a smooth transition.
When you leave, you will have the skills for crossing interfaith and intercultural borders and building peace with justice between people; skills that many employers are looking for today, skills highly needed for transforming conflicts in today’s world.
If you want to become a secondary school teacher in the Netherlands, you will be directly eligible for admittance to the (Dutch) Masters, Leraar VHO Mens- en Maatschappijwetenschappen: Godsdienst/Levensbeschouwing.
