Doctorate

The faculty offers doctoral and post-doctoral study programmes in Catholic Theology.

Doctoral studies

Students who successfully complete a master’s programme and demonstrate a strong interest in academia, along with the necessary qualifications, may pursue a doctoral degree by writing a dissertation. Admission requires a magna cum laude or summa cum laude master’s degree in Roman Catholic Theology, or an equivalent qualification.

As part of the doctoral programme, students independently explore a research area of their choice. The dissertation topic must be discussed with the supervising departmental professor and written under their guidance. The programme concludes with a doctoral examination and the publication of the dissertation.
