Presentation The Master in “Religion, Politics and Citizenship” is a one-year multi-disciplinary postgraduate program. It equips the students with methodological tools that are necessary to access the world of knowledge of philosophy and social, human and political sciences with the aim of understanding and analyzing the complex relationship between religion and politics in the modern state and its correlation with issues of citizenship, freedoms, pluralism, development and social peace. The Master’s program also pays particular attention to the social and cultural presence of Islam in Europe, the Mediterranean and the Middle East, particularly with regard to the current major geopolitical and international issues, in order to train researchers as well as consultants in public and pri- vate administrations, managers and supervisors in the fields of civil society, social services and cultural mediation as well as education executives in the fields related to the Master’s disciplines, researchers in philosophical and Islamic studies, local community leaders and activists in the fields of culture, society, politics and communication.
