Master's Program 'Religion, Ethics, and Politics'
Welcome to the official website of MaREPol!
The Faculty of Humanities and Theology of TU Dortmund University would like to inform you about the background, structure, and goals of our new Master 'Religion, Ethics, and Politcs' (MaREPol). This program is the result of the close cooperation between the different disciplines of the faculty. It is the perfect opportunity to explore the relations between religion, ethics, and politics from an interdisciplinary perspective.
If you are interested in learning more about our study program, our university, and our vibrant campus life, you have come to the right place. On this website you will find all the information you need to successfully apply and enroll in the Master's program, as well as documents and other useful information that will help you before and during your studies. We also provide information about the counseling services at TU Dortmund University and scholarship opportunities in Germany for international students. If you are a foreign national or have earned your degree outside of Germany, be sure to also check with the International Office of the TU Dortmund University for all matters related to your visa and residency status. Here you will find all relevant TU-wide dates, times and deadlines.
We also offer a Marepol FAQ section that provides answers to the most commonly asked questions by applicants and students. If you have further questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with our program coordination team, Prof. Dr. Matthias Kortmann and Magdalena Franz. You can reach us at the following email address: marepol.httu-dortmundde. We kindly ask you to read the FAQ first before submitting a question.
