• Your first year will give you a good overview of the various disciplines in theology. You’ll be introduced to the historical subjects in the fields of Biblical Studies, Philosophy, and the History of the Church and of Theology. In the second semester, you’ll be actively engaging with the thought of philosophers and theologians.

You also have the opportunity to specialize in your favorite subjects, by choosing electives from the programs offered by the TST or from other Schools or universities.
