What will you learn

What is the public relevance of Christian practices and doctrines in today’s society? How is meaning attributed to biblical texts? And how have Christians through the ages given meaning and expression to their ideas and expectations? 

Radboud's theology programme teaches you to answer these kinds of questions  from the perspective of one of its five specialisation programmes.

In addition to these specialisations, you may take tutorial classes in Canon Law, Old and New Testament Exegesis, Pastoral Theology, Missiology, Theological Ethics or Dogmatic Theology.

Radboud's theology programme is ideal for students wanting to focus on the relevance of theology for contemporary society.
