General description

The Bachelor's degree program in Theology as a major program of study involves a wide-ranging scholarly reflection of Christianity in terms of both its biblical foundations and its historical and contemporary manifestations in culture, society, and the church. In this respect, it serves as an introduction to the basic disciplines of theology, addressing everything from the interpretation of biblical texts to the study of the history of Christianity, the review of various dogmatic interconnections, and the examination of ethical implications and ecclesiastical practices from a contemporary perspective. The program also includes instruction in a biblical language (Ancient Hebrew or Ancient Greek). The major program of study consists of 120 ECTS credits. The program is completed with a Bachelor's thesis.
