Theology MA

Apologetics

The first Hungarian-language apologetics master's degree specialization. You can learn the defense of the Christian faith from Hungary's finest apologists.

Description of the training

Would you like to attend a theological training that not only deepens your faith, but also thoroughly prepares you to defend a healthy Christian faith? We invented the Apologetics Theology Master's Degree specialization for you! In our training, you will gain reliable and deep knowledge about non-Christian religions, and we will help you better understand the zeitgeist that surrounds us. If you would like to study the connections between faith and science, faith and culture, or help others navigate their way, we are waiting for you.

What will you learn?

Apologetics, i.e. defense of faith is about what we believe and why. About what we don't believe and why we don't. We learn about what is healthy in the faith life and what is not. We talk about how we can respond well to the honest questions or criticisms of believers, seekers, and people of other religions regarding our faith. This requires a lot of different knowledge. We must be able to find our way around, manage resources and set boundaries; for thinking and reasoning - even as a student. The range of ideas, doctrines, and trends is huge and constantly expanding, so we can't teach you "everything about everything." Our goal is for you to be able to face what you encounter in your own environment and in your service. We help you to acquire an attitude with which you represent your faith with respect for others, openness, humility and courage. After all, we don't have to win the argument, but the other person; and not for ourselves, but for Christ.

Admission requirements

Master's in Apologetics and Theology Courses accepted as prerequisites for entering the specialization: On the basis of a - minimum - basic degree obtained in a non-theology (BA) major, or on the basis of a professional qualification, the applicant may be granted 90 credits from the knowledge areas of the core material of the theology BA training, based on a comparison of the knowledge used to determine the credit. If, on the basis of the above comparison, the existence of less than 90 credits, but at least 30 credits can be verified, the missing credits must be obtained within four semesters from the date of admission in accordance with the study and examination regulations of the PTF (so you can acquire the missing credits during the training). The subjects of the minor can be taken and completed entirely online.
