A warm welcome to everyone who has clicked their way here, to the website of the Protestant Theological Faculty of Charles University.
Our faculty may be small (in fact, the smallest faculty at Charles University), but that comes with many advantages. The Protestant Theological Faculty is:
-
easily accessible – we are housed in a single building in the centre of Prague, where you will find all classrooms, offices, staff rooms, and our exceptionally well-stocked library, which is truly our pride and joy.
-
friendly and welcoming – everyone at the faculty knows one another, and there is a strong sense of community. We regularly meet on the central staircase, and if not, you can always just knock on someone's door or meet over coffee in the faculty café.
-
diverse – our students and academic staff come from a variety of backgrounds, countries, denominations, and professions. The faculty is therefore a place where many different perspectives and opinions come into dialogue.
-
international – we maintain extensive cooperation with universities abroad. Both students and faculty members frequently participate in international exchanges, while visiting scholars from around the world regularly come to teach and conduct research with us. In addition, we offer theology programmes in English, attracting students from every continent.
-
focused – we teach both theological and social-diaconal disciplines, positioning ourselves equally between theory and practice. We strive to connect the two: theory with practice, and theology with social and diaconal work.
-
research-oriented – the faculty is home to leading scholars in their respective fields, and in lectures and seminars you can often witness the development of cutting-edge research firsthand.
-
open to the public – our lectures, library, and café are open to the wider public. Our lifelong learning courses and programmes for senior learners are particularly popular.
-
unique – we are the only faculty in the Czech Republic offering Protestant theology at all levels of higher education (Bachelor's, Master's, and PhD). We are also unique worldwide in that the faculty is not institutionally affiliated with any church. This ensures both the freedom of research, teaching, and study, and enables us to maintain friendly and transparent relationships with a wide range of churches.
So please keep exploring our website. Perhaps it will inspire you to visit us in person or even to study with us. We would be delighted to welcome you.
Warm regards,
Assoc. Prof. Petr Gallus, PhD
Dean
Protestant Theological Faculty, Charles University
