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.
