 Welcome to Tilburg University, home to the School of Catholic Theology. My name is Reggie and I'm currently in the second year of the Bachelor of Theology. The programme focuses on the interaction between humanity, society, faith and reason. It deals with existential issues on the meaning of life, the forming of identity, traditions and values, both in the past and the present. One of the exciting and challenging parts of this programme is the studying of important religious texts in their original language such as Hebrew, Greek and Latin. The programme offers a broad scope of fields from biblical sciences to spirituality and you'll become competent in dealing with topics from history, philosophy, literature and social sciences. This variety in perspectives helps you to approach topics from different angles to reason logically and to write creatively. Theology deals with fundamental questions such as how does faith give meaning to people's lives? How are universal values such as tolerance and justice determined? That is why theology offers you a great opportunity to develop and enrich your personality and character. You'll learn to deal with different dilemmas which in turn will help you determine for yourself what truly matters in life. You share your classroom with people from different countries, denominations, age and life experience. For example, I myself am from a Pentecostal church. The atmosphere and campus is very personal. Students and professors help each other and has always room for conversation and counselling. The programme in Tilburg is entirely in English. You can also choose to study in Utrecht where the Dutch taught programme is available. When you've finished your bachelor you're an expert on existential issues and cultural and religious diversity. You can then choose to proceed with one of the master's programmes that are available in Tilburg. Theology, Christianity and Society or Religious Education. With a degree in theology there are plenty of impactful jobs to choose from. We often see theologians in professions such as journalism, education or in spiritual counselling in prison, the army or in healthcare. You can also choose to pursue a professional career at an NGO or in academic research. By choosing theology you will be equipped with a broad range of knowledge and skills which will help you to contribute to societal solutions. So will you take up the challenge and give new insights into all forms of faith in today's world and choose theology in Tilburg?
