Study theology

You don't have to become a priest to study theology. It also allows you to explore and understand religion, faith, spirituality, and the profound questions about human existence. The theology studies we offer are also open to those belonging to other church communities. For many, theology is a study of education and formation that will challenge you intellectually through studies and community with fellow students and staff.

Theology is the study of religion, faith, and God. The study involves a systematic and intellectual approach to religious belief, including scriptures, theological texts, and doctrines.
