About

The Theology and Religion PhD programme offered at VID Specialized University is intended to prepare students for professional careers in teaching, writing, and scholarship, as well as for leadership opportunities with religious organizations, social service agencies, NGOs, publishing, and in educational institutions.

Overview

Features

The PhD programme is open for projects in the fields of theology and religion. Theology and Religious Studies are two distinct scholarly fields, which historically represented rather different research perspectives on religious faith.

The Theology and Religion programme at VID Specialized University aims at enabling PhD candidates to generate new knowledge in these two research traditions and to critically reflect on the traditions and the spectre of methods they represent.

Programme Structure

Courses include:

  • Philosophy of science
  • Text and interpretation
  • Qualitative research methods
  • Quantitative research methods
  • Migration and religion
  • African biblical and theological hermeneutics
  • Theology and qualitative research: church and practice
