Theology
In the Bachelor Theology, you will learn to think critically about people and society, faith and reason. You learn to assist people in the areas of meaning, philosophy of life, ethics and spirituality. Religious views also play a role in social challenges. What responsibility do people have toward society and the world? How do you work on issues of justice and tolerance in a complex society?
Theology has a variety of interesting topics for students who like to reflect thoroughly about people, society and the Christian faith. We offer you a well-balanced curriculum with courses such as Biblical Exegesis, Church History, Systematic Theology, Spirituality and Practical Theology. You become competent in reflecting from various disciplines such as history, philosophy, literature and social sciences.
The first year gives you a good overview of all the major fields of study in theology. Greek and Biblical Hebrew are also introduced. In the second year of study, the subjects are explored in greater depth. A mobility window is planned in the third year. You can choose your own courses (30 EC) appropriate to your interests and in anticipation of your thesis. You can also go abroad as an exchange student.
Why Theology in Tilburg University?
- You can choose between a three-year program (full-time) or a five-year program (part-time).
- Tilburg School of Catholic Theology has educational locations in both Tilburg and Utrecht. In Tilburg you can follow the bachelor’s program in English, in Utrecht the bachelor is taught in Dutch.
- Because of the small groups, there is a lot of interaction between students and professors. As many of our students have different backgrounds (Catholic, Protestant, secular) our discussions and contacts are very lively.
- The institutional fee for tuition fees for the bachelor's program in Theology is very attractive. The institutional fee for EU-students at the TST is always equal to the statutory fee. This makes Theology as a second study program very attractive.
- Pažymių išrašas - jei dar nesi baigęs mokyklos, būtina prisegti pažymių išrašą. Smulkesnę informaciją kaip pildyti išrašą ir kada jis reikalingas, rasi čia.
- Brandos atestatas – jei jau esi baigęs mokyklą, išrašo nereikia, užtenka anketoje prisegti savo Brandos atestatą.
Pastaba:

SVARBU: anglų kalbos testo sertifikatą privaloma pateikti kartu su visais dokumentais, atsiunčiant anketą. Universitetas nesvarsto stojimo anketų be anglų kalbos testo rezultatų, todėl sertifikatą privaloma pateikti iki stojimo pabaigos. Anglų kalbos žinias gali patvirtinti vienu iš šių būdų:
- turėti anglų kalbos pažymį Brandos atestate ir išlaikyti Anglų kalbos valstybinį egzaminą (egzamino rezultatas nėra svarbus, svarbiausia, kad jį išlaikytum)*
- IELTS – 6.0, iš kiekvienos dalies ne mažiau nei 5.5
- TOEFL – 80
*Jeigu nori pasitikrinti ar tavo anglų kalbos žinios yra pakankamos studijuoti Nyderlandų aukštosiose – suteikiame galimybę laikyti Oxford anglų kalbos testą. Nors anglų kalbos testas nėra reikalaujamas, patartina žinoti savo galimybes ir kalbos lygį.
- CV- stojant į visas programas reikia pateikti savo gyvenimo aprašymą.
Visi, kurie dar nėra pabaigę mokyklos ir į šį universitetą stoja besimokydami 12 klasėje, kartu su pažymių išrašu privalo prisegti ir Statement of Education. Dokumentą privalo užpildyti ir antspauduoti mokyklos atstovas. Norėdami rasti ir atsisiųsti Statement of Education reikia:
- Užsiregistruoti Kastu svetainėje;
