Master Theologie — Théologies et Sociétés

Theology is the academic study of religious belief, practice, and thought, examined through historical, textual, and philosophical approaches. The Théologies et Sociétés track within the Master Theologie program at Université de Lorraine explores the relationship between religious traditions and the societies in which they developed and continue to operate. Students in this field typically study the history of religious ideas, sacred texts, comparative theology, and the social, cultural, and ethical questions raised by the interaction between religion and public life. Coursework commonly covers topics such as the history of Christianity and other traditions, religious ethics, the sociology of religion, and interfaith or intercultural dialogue, often incorporating textual analysis and historical research methods. Graduates from theology master's programs generally pursue careers in teaching, research, chaplaincy, work within religious or interfaith organizations, roles in cultural heritage connected to religious institutions, or further doctoral study in theology or religious studies. This is a two-year master's degree delivered by Université de Lorraine, located in Metz, France, with instruction entirely in French. Studies begin in September. Metz, in the Grand Est region, has a long history connected to religious and cultural institutions, offering a fitting setting for a program examining theology and society. Annual tuition for the program is 250 EUR, consistent with tuition rates typical of French public universities. Because lectures, seminars, and coursework are conducted in French, prospective students should have solid French language skills to engage fully with the program's textual and historical content across its two years.
