Master's degree in pastoral ministry

With the support of the University of Passau, the Department of Catholic Theology is planning to introduce a degree programme that will enable career change to pastoral ministry. Subject to the approval of the University's governing bodies and accreditation of the degree programme, the first intake into this programme will be in winter semester 2025–26 (i.e. 1 October 2025).

The degree programme's webpage will be continually updated with information as the legal steps for its introduction are completed.
