Pastoral Orthodox Theology

Duration of studies

4 years

Brief presentation

The study program is accredited by the Ministry of Education, developing a quality education in the field of theology and humanities. The educational objective of the Pastoral Orthodox Theology program is determined by academic rigors (internal and international learning and research partnerships for students and teaching staff; competitiveness; actuality; interdisciplinarity) and spirituality (building the moral profile of the student). The teaching staff have benefited from professional training in Romania and abroad, which gives the integration of theological education in Alba Iulia in the international flow of the profile. Students are actively integrated into the learning and research process.

Qualifications and professions upon graduation

Upon completion of the studies, the Pastoral Orthodox Theology program considers the sacerdotal integration (specialists in religion, deacon, priest, bishop, specialists in the social field) or in education, by graduating the psycho-pedagogical module (teachers in primary, middle school, secondary and higher education).

Main subjects studied

The Pastoral Orthodox Theology program offers a wide range of subjects, aiming at the intellectual and moral development of the student. It is, in fact, an exercise in knowledge that engages the dialogue between disciplines of a theological, philosophical nature, of the history of religions in general and of Christianity in particular, biblical, historical, systematic, or practical sciences. By combining them, the Pastoral Theology program offers the student a harmonious development, a vast culture, strongly articulated in everyday realities. The main disciplines are: The Study of the Old Testament, the New Testament, the History of Christianity, the History of the Romanian Orthodox Church, Patrology, Byzantium, Missiology, History and Philosophy of Religions, Liturgical, Homiletics, Dogmatics, Morals, Pastoral, Greek Language, Latin Language, and English Language.

Aspects regarding professional practice

The module of practical disciplines is very developed. There are partnerships concluded with stakeholders in Romania (Orthodox Archdiocese of Alba Iulia; urban and rural parishes, NGOs) and through "1 Decembrie 1918" University of Alba Iulia, within the Erasmus programs, with similar institutions abroad.

Possibilities for further studies (master's degree, doctorate)

The Faculty of Theology offers the possibility to continue the studies through two Master study programs and Doctoral Studies. The Master develops two directions: Comparative Theology and Intercultural and Interreligious Mediation.

Employment opportunities

The employment rate after graduation is high. This is possible given the absorption power in this area through the profile structures: Archdioceses, Dioceses, Deaneries, Parishes and NGOs, where an increased need for human resources has been identified.
