Purpose

The Second Cycle offers the Licentiate in Theology in five specializations: Biblical Theology, Patristic Theology and Tradition of the Fathers, Fundamental Theology, Dogmatic Theology, Moral Theology . The Second Cycle aims to deepen and broaden the knowledge of a specific area of theology, by initiating the student into the use of various research methods.

Admission

The documentation required for admission are:

• a complete record of studies, with a list of courses and grades taken in Philosophy and in the Baccalaureate in Theology (or in the five-year philosophical-theological period completed in a Faculty or in the six-year period completed in another canonically recognized Center);
• a proven knowledge of ancient and modern languages.

Only students who have obtained at least an 8.0/10 overall average in their Baccalaureate studies may be admitted to the Second Cycle of the Faculty of Theology. For students who have completed their Baccalaureate in a non-ecclesiastical Faculty of Theology, given the vsariety of curriculum and criteria adopted for grades, the Faculty reserves the right to evaluate the equivalence to the average of 8.0/10 and require the candidates to take the Second Cycle Admission Examination.
