Domuni Universitas Expands Its Academic Offering for Spanish-Speaking Students

10 november 2026

Domuni Universitas continues to expand its academic offering in Spanish across three major fields: theology, philosophy, and economics and management. Through degree programmes, specialised courses, and distance learning opportunities, the university is strengthening its commitment to international higher education, fostering dialogue between disciplines, languages, and cultures, and paying particular attention to the realities of Latin America.

An Expanding Range of University Programmes in Spanish

As an international distance-learning institution, Domuni Universitas offers programmes in five languages: French, English, Spanish, Italian, and Arabic.

The development of its Spanish-language offering marks a new stage in this international mission. It reflects the university’s commitment to making higher education accessible to students from different countries while fostering encounters between European and Latin American intellectual traditions.

Theology Programmes: Deepening the Understanding of Faith

The theology programmes offered in Spanish by Domuni Universitas are rooted in the intellectual tradition of the Catholic Church and the Dominican Order, while paying particular attention to contemporary realities. Inspired by Pope Francis’s Apostolic Constitution Veritatis Gaudium, they seek to bring faith and life into dialogue, to engage theology with social realities, and to address the challenges of a pluralistic world shaped by cultural and religious diversity.

From Bachelor’s Degree to Master of Arts: A Progressive Academic Pathway

The Bachelor’s Degree in Theology, a three-year university programme organised into six semesters, enables students to progressively acquire the biblical, philosophical, and theological foundations of Christianity before exploring major contemporary ethical, social, and cultural questions in greater depth.

The Bachelor’s programme also offers an international dimension and the possibility of a combined degree pathway. Students may complete their entire programme in Spanish and obtain the Bachelor’s Degree in Theology from Domuni Universitas. Those with a sufficient level of French may also undertake their sixth semester at the University of Lorraine and, subject to meeting the required conditions, qualify for the Licence in Theology awarded by this French university. This pathway thus offers the possibility of obtaining both degrees. This arrangement reflects Domuni’s commitment to promoting the international recognition of university qualifications.

This progression continues at Master of Arts level, where personal research occupies an increasingly important place. The programme combines specialised courses, interactive seminars, and research projects.

The Master of Arts 1 enables students to consolidate their theological knowledge and progressively develop a research project. The Master of Arts 2 leads to specialisation and the preparation of an original research dissertation, supervised by an academic tutor and defended orally.

Four areas of specialisation structure this second cycle:

• Latin American Theologies: the study of theological movements developed in Latin America, their historical contexts, and their contemporary challenges.

• Judaism and Christianity: an exploration of the historical, religious, and theological relationships between the two traditions.

• The Social Doctrine of the Church: reflection on social, economic, political, and environmental issues in the light of Christian social thought.

• Philosophy: an in-depth exploration of the dialogue between faith and reason through major philosophical questions and their theological implications.

Latin American thought also occupies an important place, particularly through courses devoted to ecotheology, popular Mariology in Latin America, and decolonial perspectives. This orientation is further developed through the Master of Arts 2 specialisation in “Latin American Theologies”. The aim is to offer a form of theology that goes beyond the transmission of knowledge and invites students to reflect on faith in light of cultures, experiences, and transformations within society.

Short Courses for Exploring Specific Topics in Greater Depth

In addition to the longer degree programmes, four certificates also provide opportunities to explore specific subjects in greater depth without necessarily committing to a full university programme.

• The Certificate in Christ and the Holy Spirit (Diplomado Cristo y el Espíritu Santo) explores the person of Christ and the action of the Holy Spirit through biblical sources and the theological tradition.

• The Certificate in Bioethics (Diplomado en Bioética) offers reflection on the ethical issues arising from scientific, medical, and technological developments, combining general approaches with Christian theology.

• The Certificate in Spirituality (Diplomado en Espiritualidad) addresses topics including bereavement support, spiritual friendship in the Cistercian tradition, and the thought of Saint Teresa of Ávila.

• Finally, the Certificate in Decolonial Perspectives (Perspectivas decoloniales) invites students to reflect on the relationships between faith, history, social justice, and cultures, with particular attention to Latin American experiences.

Philosophy Programmes: Developing Critical Thinking and Dialogue Between Cultures

The philosophy programmes offered in Spanish by Domuni Universitas invite students to explore the major questions that have shaped the history of thought: truth, justice, freedom, existence, knowledge, and the relationships between individuals and society. They aim to develop analytical, critical reasoning, and argumentation skills while fostering dialogue between intellectual traditions and cultures.

A Bachelor’s Degree in Philosophy: Understanding Being, the Subject, and the Person

The Bachelor’s Degree in Philosophy, offered entirely in Spanish, is a three-year university programme organised into six semesters. It enables students to acquire a solid understanding of the major philosophical traditions, from antiquity to contemporary debates, while developing rigorous and independent thinking.

The curriculum is structured around three major stages: understanding being, understanding the subject, and understanding the person.

This progression leads students from fundamental questions in metaphysics and the theory of knowledge towards a deeper reflection on the human being, their freedom, their responsibility, and their place in society.

The programme combines the history of philosophy with the study of its principal branches, including ethics, political philosophy, aesthetics, phenomenology, hermeneutics, and epistemology. Particular emphasis is placed on reading and analysing original texts, encouraging students to develop their own reflections and engage with different philosophical perspectives.

Particular Attention to Latin American Thought

The Spanish-language academic offering also gives an important place to Latin American intellectual traditions through the Certificate in Latin American Thought.

This specialised programme explores the major philosophical, literary, and cultural movements that have contributed to shaping the identities and societies of Latin America. It is structured around three complementary approaches:

Latin American Thought in the Twentieth Century: a study of the major philosophical and cultural debates that have shaped the continent, particularly in Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, and Cuba, around questions of identity, history, and modernity.

Literature and Philosophy in Latin America: an exploration of the connections between literary creation and philosophical reflection through the works of Jorge Luis Borges, particularly in relation to questions of time, infinity, knowledge, and identity.

Ecology and Philosophy: reflection on contemporary environmental challenges, the relationship between human beings and nature, and the ethical, social, and political dimensions of the ecological crisis.

This programme offers an opportunity to discover a philosophical tradition attentive to historical experiences, cultural realities, and the specific challenges of Latin America, while bringing them into dialogue with the major universal questions of philosophy.

Economics and Management Programmes: Combining Professional Skills with Ethical Reflection

Domuni Universitas is also developing its range of programmes in economics and management, with courses that combine the acquisition of professional skills with reflection on the economic, social, and environmental responsibilities of organisations.

The university notably offers an MBA in Business Management and Administration as well as a Master of Arts in Business Management and Ethical Leadership. These programmes enable students to deepen their knowledge of management, economics, and business strategy while developing analytical, decision-making, and change-management skills. Particular attention is given to sustainable development, social responsibility, and governance, notably in the light of the social doctrine of the Church.

The Master of Arts in Business Management and Ethical Leadership is particularly suited to professionals, executives, and organisational leaders who wish to strengthen their management skills while incorporating an ethical dimension into their practices. Structured over two years, it combines theoretical teaching, case studies, and applied research within an international and interdisciplinary perspective.

Individual courses in economics and management also offer opportunities to explore specific topics in greater depth. The programmes are available through distance learning and can be pursued alongside professional commitments. As some courses are taught in English, a minimum B1 level of English is required to follow the programmes concerned.

Distance Learning Adapted to Each Student’s Pace

All these programmes are part of Domuni Universitas’s educational model, which is based on distance learning and personalised student support.

Through the MyDomuni digital platform, students can access learning resources, organise their studies according to their availability, and benefit from academic guidance. This organisation makes it possible to combine university studies with professional activities, family responsibilities, or personal commitments.

In addition to degree programmes and specialised courses, Domuni also offers individual courses, enabling students to explore a particular question or field without necessarily committing to a complete university programme.

This diversity of formats caters both to students wishing to begin or continue a university education and to professionals, teachers, pastoral workers, and anyone seeking to broaden their knowledge.

Through the development of its Spanish-language offering, Domuni Universitas continues to pursue its mission: making university knowledge accessible to the widest possible audience and fostering dialogue between disciplines, cultures, and intellectual traditions.
