Theology

(Single Major 120)

Degree program: Master of Theology UZH Bologna 2020

General description

The Master's degree program in Theology as a single major 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 sense, the Master's degree program in Theology as a single major offers students the opportunity to expand their knowledge of the basic disciplines of theology in order to develop their own expertise with regard to exegesis, ecclesiastical history, systematic and practical theology.
The single-major program consists of 120 ECTS credits, which corresponds to two years of full-time study. Students complete the program of study by writing a Master's thesis. The completion of this master opens the possibility for the professional program to become a pastor which the German Swiss Reformed Concordat Churches offer.
