Our doctoral school is the third cycle of study of the Faculty of Roman-Catholic Theology of the Babeș-Bolyai University, after the bachelor and master programs in theology. Its administrative organization is part of the UBB Doctoral Institute. The doctoral studies are regulated by an order approved by the Romanian Ministry of Education. In this regard, doctoral studies are divided into two parts, called programs, which are usually structured for a total duration of three years, i.e. six semesters. The educational curriculum organized at institutional level ensures the acquisition of theoretical knowledge, while the research content enables and supports independent research activity.

Religion, Culture, Society - Doctoral School
Our Mission
-
Religion
The role of religion in the lives of people and societies has changed significantly in recent decades. We explore different aspects and consequences of this change. -
Culture
A human being always lives in a culture. Grace presupposes culture, and the gospel always seeks to be realized in a culture. We are searching for the possibilities and barriers to this realization. -
Society
Society is constantly changing. It faces many challenges along the way. These challenges cannot leave the Church indifferent. In a given society, the Church always seeks to be an advocate for the poor and the weak. We have seen many examples of this throughout history. Our research covers the realities of the past as well as the challenges of the present.
