Master of Intercultural Reformed Theology

The Theological University of Kampen boasts a long-standing tradition of education in Reformed Theology in The Netherlands. In a globalizing world, we want to stimulate and challenge international and Dutch students to reflect on the relevance and actuality of Reformed theology and world-view for today while studying the heritage of famous theologians such as John Calvin, Herman Bavinck and Abraham Kuyper. By doing intercultural Reformed theology ‘together with all the saints (Eph 3:18), we strive for academic excellence for future teachers and church leaders in the Kingdom of God around the world.

To achieve these goals, Theological University Kampen offers a one-year English-taught intensive Master’s programme: the Master of Intercultural Reformed Theology (MIRT). The MIRT-programme consists of one year of full-time residential studies in Kampen. After successful completion of the programme, students receive a fully accredited Master of Arts degree in Theology. Excellent students can follow up with PhD-studies.

The Theological University in Kampen is the theological seminary of the Reformed Churches in the Netherlands (liberated). It functions as an academic, theological institution that operates from a Reformed faith perspective and in service to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The aim of the Theological University is to train its students in academic theology. This is done by offering a Bachelor’s degree programme and two types of Master’s degree programmes. The three-year Master’s degree programme trains the student to become a minister in the Reformed Churches (liberated). The focus of the one-year General Master’s degree programme is the practice of academic theology with a specialisation of choice.
