Faculty of Orthodox Theology and Educational Sciences

The study program at the Faculty of Orthodox Theology and Educational Sciences is designed with a dual mission – to provide a comprehensive education for future clergy members and educators. Established in 1992, the faculty has evolved to incorporate a broader scope, reflected in its current name.
