Old Catholic Theology has been taught and learned at the University of Bern for 150 years. It is:

• rooted in the Western Catholic tradition with its origins in the Eastern tradition
• ecumenically oriented
• focused on history and contemporary culture
• internationally networked

This is also reflected in our team. We speak nine different mother tongues and have a wide range of theological expertise.

The Institute of Old Catholic Theology offers unique opportunities for study and research in the international university landscape. We look forward to welcoming students interested in relevant and scientifically reflected theology. Studying theology qualifies students for work in the church, for an academic career or a career in the cultural humanities.
