The first year of the program is made up exclusively of obligatory courses (60 credits) ensuring an introduction to the basic disciplines as well in theology, methodology, as in philosophy and social sciences.
As from the second year, the student will complete his major by a minor of his choice in Theology and in Religious Sciences by additional courses for a total of 30 credits or by a minor in another Faculty (Philosophy and other sciences, useful for the studies in Theology, are highly recommended).
