6 Theology and Divinity Degree Programs in Congo, DR

In 1996, the Permanent Committee of Bishops of the Congo approved a new organization of studies at the Faculty of Theology, which came into effect in October of the same year. The reform took its start from the re-examination of the program of the Department of Theology and Human Sciences whose initial double objective consisted in the theological formation of religious and lay students who were not destined for the priestly life, and in the inculturation of the gospel through the integration, in theological formation, of the human sciences attentive to the environment and cultural traditions.

At the third cycle level, students can acquire the degrees of Diplôme d'Etudes Approfondies en Théologie, Doctor of Theology and Aggregated Master of Higher Education in Theology.

The Faculty of Social Communications aims to train both scientifically competent communication professionals and sensitized men, ready to engage and integrate the message of the Gospel into the new culture created by the means of modern communication (…) with new languages, new techniques and new behaviors (cf. John Paul II, Redemptoris missio, 37), to identify what benefits and what dangers this culture could present for African identity and values.
