The Doctorate in Theology is a graduate program that provdes you with the knowledge, skills and training required to carry out original research in the field of theology. The Faculty of Theology at DUC specialises in the following areas: 1) Bible and Culture; 2) Ethics and Anthropology. The principal objective of the doctoral program is to provide you with the opportunity for deeper reflection on a specific theological problem which would lead to an original research contribution within the context of the faculty's concentrations.
The program aims for students to acquire mastery of the research skills of both primary and secondary sources (in their original languages) and to critically apply the results of their research to current theological questions. You will be invited to participate in active discussions on theological issues in order to foster critical thinking, and master writing and communication skills. |
