TO VALIDATE THE COMPLETION OF YEAR 3 OF BACHELOR’S IN THEOLOGY

COURSES CONTENT

The third year of theology presents the mystery of the Church in its missionary zeal, its fundamental unity and sacramental life, with courses on St Paul and the Epistles of John.

Additionally, there is content on Canon Law, Ecclesiology, and the Second Vatican Council, a pastoral Council, which, according to Pope John XXIII, had the concern, “that the sacred deposit of Christian doctrine should be guarded and taught more efficaciously.”

Furthermore, there is a course on Catholic Social Teaching (also known as Catholic Social Doctrine), which sums up the teachings of the Church on social justice issues. It promotes a vision of a just society that is grounded in the Sacred Scriptures and in the wisdom gathered from experience by the Christian community as it has responded to social, economic, and political issues throughout history.

In philosophy, students will get the opportunity to be introduced to the historical beginning of bioethics, as well as some of the moral theories employed in bioethics discourse, and to Kant, centering on Freedom as a key concept to understand his philosophy, in the three spheres defined by the critical project: Metaphysics, Moral and Aesthetics.

It is also possible to take modules from other disciplines and / or in a different language (one course per year may be taken in a foreign language for which the student will be required to have a passive knowledge of the language in question).

FLEXIBILITY

Enrollment happens daily. As soon as the registration process is completed, students receive a code that allows them to access the Domoodle teaching platform and begin studying. Each academic year can be spread over two calendar years without the need to re-enroll or pay tuition fees again.
