The Faculty of Advanced Further Education offers courses in theology at different levels that lead to different degrees. This education will be of value to all those who have already got a degree and want to take it further, who are seeking specific skills and those who want to broaden their horizons in theological studies.
The Faculty staff is also interested not only in the main trends and issues of Christian theology, but also in the most effective methods of teaching, as well as in the state-of-the-art technologies for studying. It was through this creative and critical analysis that the whole faculty came to be and shaped the most unique system of advance long distance education in theology and subsequent art subjects.
