About the Program
Theology keeps existential questions open that other sciences usually leave untouched. More than almost any other subject, it encourages people to put their own values to the test and to develop well-founded ideological and ethical positions. The course begins with an introduction to the four subject areas of Catholic theology (biblical, systematic, historical and practical theology) in terms of method and content. Building on this, students specialize in two subject areas of their choice. A further specialization module is both interdisciplinary and interreligious. As part of the BA minor, students can choose the study profile "Interreligious Competence" and thus focus on interreligious competence. The Institute of Catholic Theology in Kassel is characterized by a personal and approachable atmosphere as well as intensive supervision by the teaching staff.
