Retour en début de pageStudy objectives

The Master en théologie provides in-depth training in the various fields of theology (exegesis, historical, dogmatic, ethical, pastoral) whilst also offering either research training in a specific field (research focus) or teacher training (teaching focus). In each field, the student is invited to approach a specific subject in an in-depth manner, in connection with significant current issues, in order to learn how to take a rigorous approach to his work and develop a critical mind. A selection of activities help him not just to learn more about the speciality he has chosen but also to consider other issues and training programmes which tie in with his areas of interest (e.g.: Master en Etudes Bibliques, Master en Science des Religions).
