Theology
The course programme introduces you to a comprehensive study of the biblical sources of Christianity as well as its history, and its doctrinal, ethical and pastoral aspects, including its relations to economics, politics, culture and biotechnology. As a prospective student, it is recommended that you would have a good grounding for the teaching of religion at secondary school level or to exercise certain forms of pastoral ministry and community work. This course is ideal if you wish to prepare for further specialised training in Theology, or would like to relate faith to your own work, professional or social responsibilities. Coupled with the study of philosophy or physics or mathematics, this interrelating area will give you a more refined understanding of Theology through your capacity for analytical and critical thought. You may have the chance to demonstrate your knowledge on the subject by carrying out a research-based dissertation of your choice.
Communication and Academic Skills Programme
The communication and academic skills programme complements students’ main course of study. It introduces them to writing and presenting as situated within academic contexts sensitive to specific disciplines and develops their competences for future careers.
