Master Theologie Catholique — Catholicisme

Tuition costs 289 USD per year.

The Catholicisme specialization of the Master Theologie Catholique at Institut catholique de Paris, in Paris, France, is a two-year, French-taught program with a September start and yearly tuition of 250 EUR. This specialization situates the study of Catholic theology within the broader history and culture of Catholicism as a global religious tradition. Students typically examine the historical development of the Church, its doctrine and sacramental life, its social teaching, and its relationship to art, culture, and politics across different periods and regions. Core theological subjects such as ecclesiology, moral theology, and the study of scripture and tradition generally accompany this historical and cultural focus, giving students both a doctrinal foundation and a broader view of Catholicism's place in society. Graduates from a program of this kind often move into education, teaching religious studies or theology in schools and Catholic institutions. Others take on roles in parish or diocesan administration, in Catholic charitable and social organizations, or in cultural institutions connected to religious heritage, such as archives, museums, or publishing houses. The academic grounding also supports further study at the doctoral level for those aiming toward research or teaching careers in theology, religious studies, or the history of religion. Since the program is taught in French, applicants need a solid command of the language for lectures, seminar discussion, and written assignments over the two years of study. Paris, as a long-standing center for Catholic higher education in France, provides the institutional and cultural setting for this track within the wider Master Theologie Catholique offered at Institut catholique de Paris.
