The master file is the course portfolio, with two undergraduate entries and two postgraduate entries. The undergraduate program is comprised of Protestant Theology, Youth, Congregation, Mission and Diaconia. Postgraduate courses are offered in Protestant Theology, Protestant Congregational Practice. Each entry retains the official parent credential and situates pathways or concentrations within the specialisation field rather than blowing them up into separate degrees. Where the institution does not award doctorates in its own right, this record only describes credible routes for cooperative doctoral research and states that formal admission is to a doctoral awarding partner.
In the direct application, the state access check is combined with the university’s motivation and suitability process; applicants who do not have a conventional school qualification can use the published Hessian vocational-access route, if eligible. Applicants should check the current program page before applying for the correct intake, teaching language, academic pre-requisites, selection method and document route. International certificates may require certified translations, proof of equivalency, APS documentation for relevant countries or other language proof.
