Lara und Frederike
„Never to view theological content in isolation, but rather to examine it closely in relation to educational practice and social issues and to reflect on it critically—that is what we learned during our studies at the Department of Catholic Theology. We found this so fascinating that we remained part of the department as staff members even after completing our studies.“
Anna-Maria
„Theology is never complete and is always seeking new, creative paths. It is a human intellectual project—dependent on context and time—aimed at exploring the question of God. Today, work in academia at TU Dortmund University, where I studied. I really enjoy the interdisciplinary work and the collegial exchange here, and I value Dortmund as a pluralistic and inspiring place.“
