Intercultural Experience

Intercultural experience is a key goal of this programme. Therefore students are obliged to study one semester abroad at one of the cooperating theological institutions all over the world.

In the second year, students work on their research projects, evaluate their project work and write an evaluation report at the end of the third semester in January. Students can spend two or three months abroad at one of the partner institutions in India, Ethiopia, Korea, Japan, Ghana, Lebanon, Armenia, Estonia, Indonesia, Tanzania, China, Belarus or stay in Germany.
