Faculty of Theology (HTK)

sacra theologia

The Theological Faculty is the eldest School of the Pázmány Péter Catholic University which was erected at Nagyszombat in 1635. As a Theological Institution it dedicates her activity traditionally to the so called “sacred sciences”, which mean different Fields of Theology, Christian Philosophy, Biblical Studies, Ecclesiastical History and Canon Law. The Institute introduces the students into these above mentioned scientific fields and their independent research and practices through those instructional levels which have received recognition by the Holy See and also by the Hungarian State. Therefore, our graduated students can begin their ecclesiastical carrier with highly valuated special experience within the wide activity of the Church institutional system. They will be able to enrich by their own scientific results the Science of Theology in Hungary and in the whole World – on the international level – too. This is served by the undivided (5 years) Theological program and the Theological PhD instruction which is unique in Hungary. Beyond these possibilities we offer more – State-accredited religious teaching program for those, who do basically not at the scientific field imagine to fulfill service for the activity of the Church, but through some other way like to express their loyalty and enrich the daily faithful routine, by their possessed studies (Catholic Cathecate-Pastoral Assistant BA, Catholic Community Manager BA, Religious Teacher and Educator MA, Catholic Canon Lawyer MA). The gradually renewing, active, well known and widely respected Professor-team, approved by the Holy See, is guarantee for the high quality of the subjects and the unconditional loyalty toward the Doctrine and Discipline of the Church.
