MA Theology for a World in Transformation (TWT)

The Master of Arts in Theology for a World in Transformation (TWT) at Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg is designed to equip students with the theological knowledge and critical thinking skills necessary to address contemporary challenges. The programme covers various aspects of theological study, emphasizing the transformative role of theology in modern societies. Students engage with diverse theological perspectives and learn to apply their insights to real-world issues.

The programme is structured over four semesters, featuring a combination of core modules, electives, and a master’s thesis. It allows students to explore interdisciplinary approaches, integrating theology with sociology, philosophy, and ethics. As a result, students gain a comprehensive understanding of the complexities of faith in a rapidly changing world.
