Faculty of Theology

If you would like to study Catholic Theology in Germany, you will find the optimum conditions at our Faculty in Eichstätt: an inspiring cultural ambience, a personal atmosphere and an excellent framework for students and lecturers, like small courses and short ways, interdisciplinary working, scientific exkursions and activities or a large theological library. We offer a Magister's program (Mag. theol.), a Bachelor's program (in combination with other subjects; B.A.) a Licentiat's program (Lic. theol.) and a Doctoral program (Dr. theol.).
