Master of Theology General

The Theological University of Kampen offers national and international students the unique opportunity of following a taught MA programme in one of several main areas of Theology. This one-year Master of Theology General programme is embedded in our University’s long tradition of combining sound theological education with a thorough theological study.

The one-year master’s degree programme offers in-depth study in one of eight main theological areas and is intended for students who have completed their BA in Theology and would like to specialize in a certain area of theology. The programmes all follow an identical structure, starting with the joint core module “Commitment to an open Bible”, to continue with an in-depth study of the subject. Preparing your dissertation on a subject linked with your area of study is also an important part of the programme. For outstanding students, this MA programme can serve as a foundation for a PhD research degree.

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.
