A One-Year Foundation Program
The Diploma in Theology offers a broad overview with introductory theology and religious history courses. The program is one year long and is taught in Swedish.
The program includes several introductory courses in the Old and New Testament, Systematic Theology, and Church History. The Church History course aims to place theological development in a cultural context. Additionally, a course in theological problem-solving helps students develop more effective study habits and approaches for writing papers on a chosen topic.
The courses included in the program can also be taken as single courses.
