Master in Theology

Initially aimed at training Catholic church clergy and religious education, it is now open to anyone seeking to learn Christian ethics and culture. Based on Christian values, we will look at various problems in the modern world, acquire solid values ​​in a confused modern society, and seek out the true form of human beings and society. As the only Catholic theology department in Japan, we train priests / priests, believers, religious teachers, and people who acquire Christian ethics and culture and contribute to the international community.

The worldwide spread of the new coronavirus infection is forcing changes in the way university education should be. In particular, the restriction of real overseas exchanges was a pain for Sophia University, which promotes globalization, but we provided support not only to international students in Japan but also overseas, centered on our overseas bases. In particular, the ASEAN Hub Center in Bangkok, which established a business company with the aim of further revitalizing educational functions from last year, is working to continue its business by introducing complete online classes.

The biggest change caused by the Corona disaster is the rapid progress of online access at universities around the world. As a result, we can expect unprecedented research exchanges, such as remotely inviting professors who conduct cutting-edge research at overseas universities. Our university is also working to establish such a possibility as a system.
