Program Outcome
What is the program all about?
There is no doubt that those who enroll for a Bachelor’s from Leuven will be profoundly introduced into the study of Christianity and the world religions. This solid basis will be laid with the aid of challenging lectures, interactive seminars in small groups, and personal guidance in the writing of papers and essays. The program can be followed on a full-time or part-time basis.
This bachelor program prepares for a more specialized study in the Research Master or the Master of Theology and Religious Studies.
The Faculty also offers a reduced program: the Abridged Bachelor of Theology and Religious Studies (between 45 to 120 ECTS). This reduced program varies from candidate to candidate and takes into account each candidate’s previous academic formation.
