Dottorato in Comunicazione Ecclesiastica

The third cycle is a specialized research track mainly targeted to those who wish to teach and do university research.

The title of Doctorate in Church Communication requires a doctoral thesis and attendance at the required monographic courses.

Under the tutelage of the School of Theology, the Higher Institute of Religious Studies “all’Apollinare” (ISSRA) was established in 1986 as an integral part of the University.

The Institute has a specific didactic methodology, which offers the traditional forms of teaching (lessons, written assignments, oral examinations) in a flexible form, suited to those who for geographical, professional or family reasons are unable to attend an Institute that requires daily attendance.

The University has an esteemed Department of Languages, which co-ordinates teaching of both classic and modern languages. In addition, Santa Croce’s interdisciplinary Center for Priestly Formation provides a systematic pastoral and spiritual formation.
