We are proud of this evaluation, and at the same time we are working hard to modernize the programs in order to respond to a changing professional and societal landscape. Hence, it is my pleasure to announce that the Groningen Faculty of Theology and Religious Studies will launch 4 new Master programs (60 ECTS each) as of the academic year 2012-13, all of them being taught entirely in the English language. The one-year programs consist of 3 modules, 1 tutorial/internship/additional module, and a master thesis. The new Master programs are: - Concealed Knowledge: Gnosticism, Esotericism, and Mysticism <http://www.rug.nl/ggw/onderwijs/maopleidingen/mastergem/index> - Religion, Conflict, and Globalization <http://www.rug.nl/ggw/onderwijs/maopleidingen/masterrcg/index> - Religion in the Public Domain <http://www.rug.nl/ggw/onderwijs/maopleidingen/masterrapd/index> - The Origins of Abrahamic Religions: Texts and Contexts <http://www.rug.nl/ggw/onderwijs/maopleidingen/masteroar/index> Particularly the master /Religion, Conflict and Globalization /may be interesting for students in anthropology, since all modules combine anthropological, sociological and psychological perspectives. It is also possible to combine these Master programs with the two-years Research Master "Religion and Culture" (120 ECTS). For details, please see http://www.rug.nl/ggw/onderwijs/maopleidingen/index?lang=en We very much encourage international students to enroll in these programs. If you know students who might be interested in the programs offered by the University of Groningen, please forward this information to them. Thanks a lot and best wishes, Marjo Buitelaar ************************************************************* * Anthropology-Matters Mailing List * * To join this list or to look at the archived previous * * messages visit: * * http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/Anthropology-Matters.HTML * * If you have ALREADY subscribed: to send a message to all * * those currently subscribed to the list,just send mail to: * * [log in to unmask] * * * * Enjoyed the mailing list?
