Double Degree Track – Institute for the Study of Religion

Our international Master's programme Religion in the Public Sphere offers the unique opportunity to participate in a double degree programme. On the so-called double degree track, participating students gain in-depth experience abroad and acquire a second Master's degree in addition to the degree from Leibniz Universität Hannover. We organise the double degree track together with the Department of Humanities at the University of Roma Tre (Rome, Italy) and The Study of Religions at the Institute for Historical and Contemporary Studies at Södertörn University (Stockholm, Sweden).
