Catholic Theology department

We deal with religion in all its facets and with thinking about God in the past and present. To this end, we explore biblical texts and the history of Christianity, and we ask how the Christian faith can be explained rationally and translated into contemporary formats, especially in religious education.

With us, you will acquire skills for numerous professional fields - regardless of whether you want to teach religion or work in another field in which expertise in religions, ethics and spirituality is important. We are characterized by a personal atmosphere, accessibility and openness to your questions.
