Overview
Theology and Religion are two distinct scholarly fields which historically represented rather different research perspectives on religious faith.
What you will learn
The Theology and Religion PhD program offered at VID Specialized University is geared towards critical reflection on these traditions and the spectre of methods they represent. As such, the program offers an interdisciplinary context for one's specialized concentration, whether it is sacred texts and their Interpretation, systematic theology, ethics, historical and cultural Studies of religion, or empirical research on religious practice.
Accreditation
The MHS PhD Program is accredited by Norwegian educational authorities, with a “Forskrift”/“Regulations” as the key document.

General requirements
- Admission to the PhD programme normally requires five years of basic education (that is at least a Master's Degree or equivalent) in Theology, Religious studies or other related academic disciplines.

It should be a text of 8-10 pages, explaining the project with a focus on problem, sources and method, and relating it to the current research situation.
