Faculty of Theology

In line with its long tradition as a Faculty within the University, the Faculty of Theology pursues higher studies of the foundational texts and the development of Christianity in relation to other religions and world views, especially those that have flourished around the Mediterranean, and collaborates with other Faculties and Institutes of the University in such fields as those of Mediterranean studies and professional ethics.

As a Faculty of Theology enjoying canonical recognition, it seeks to help in the continuing renewal of the Church and its presence in society through the appraisal and interpretation of the Christian tradition, including Church structures, in accordance with the relevant ecclesial criteria for theological studies and research; it also provides appropriate courses of studies for Church ministry and other related work.

It believes that it can give a crucial contribution to human well-being on the individual and collective planes by the presentation of religion, particularly Christianity, as a unifying and constructive force in society and by the promotion of an ethics of solidarity and peace.

In the Faculty of Theology students receive personal attention and are given ample opportunity to take an active part in the teaching process itself; in other words teaching is a two-way learning process. Before the beginning of each academic year, brochures giving updated details (including descriptions of study-units) for the various degree and diploma courses are available for prospective students from the Faculty Office.
