About our programmes

Theology at Radboud University teaches students to better understand the fundamentals and pluralism of Christianity.

Students study Christianity because it has been an important historical influence in the establishment of European societies, and the meaning of this history remains a relevant question for the ongoing development of society. In a constructive and critical way students are equipped to engage tomorrow’s world, with its cultural and religious diversity.
