    About

    Students start taking Catholic Theology in the third semester. First of all, students take four basic courses in Biblical Theology, Historical Theology, Systematic Theology and Practical Theology, each of which opens up a specific perspective on theology as a science of the Christian faith, offering first insights into theological issues, methods and content. By selecting special topics, students expand on their theological problem awareness at a later stage of the programme. In this connection, one area of specialisation is issues concerning religious education.
    • An interest in theological and philosophical issues: the question of God, the question of man, and the meaning of life
    • An interest in the wealth of experience provided by the Bible and in historical, social and political issues and problems
    • Willingness to assess and discuss scholarly texts
    • With regard to a potential career in teaching: an interest in working with children and/or young people and in developing teaching and learning processes
