Master Islamic Spiritual Care NL

The Master program in Islamic Spiritual Care prepares students for jobs in various sectors, including mosques, hospitals, schools, advisory organizations, government institutions (such as prisons of Ministry of Justice, police, army), and non-governmental organizations.

The Master’s program starts every academic year in September. The Master’s degree is awarded upon successful completion of both the course requirements and a Master's thesis. The curriculum consists of core theory courses (70 EC), capita selecta (5 EC), practical training and supervision (20 EC), an applied research course (5 EC), and a research project of the Master's thesis (20 EC). The requirements should take two years of full-time study. Students who have to complete a pre-master preparatory program will need more time, depending on the extra requirements to be fulfilled.

The Master's thesis (20 ECTS credits) is a report on research that focuses on a topic in the field of Islamic Spiritual Care, in which theoretical insights and the analysis of practical cases with empirical data are integrated. The students carry it out under the supervision of department professors. The subject of the thesis is to be mutually agreed upon by the student and the academic adviser. The thesis should be between 60-70 A4-pages (about 15,000 and 24,000 words.)

The Master's degree (120 ECTS credits) is awarded upon successfully completing the course requirements and a Master's thesis.
